    p5b vista ultimate compatible?

    Hi all. My P5B Deluxe Wi-Fi says it's Vista Premium compatible, but does that mean it won't be compatible with Vista Ultimate? And does anyone know if I can get hold of a trial version of Vista Ultimate before I buy it? Thanks.

    As for the trial version of Vista, I'v never heard of it

    If you know someone with a vista cd you can install it. It will then have a 30 day limit before you have to validate it. Thats the nearest thing to a trial that I can think of.

    'Vista Compatible' on motherboards is just a gimmick. Nothing more.

    If you have enough RAM and enough memory anyone can run it.
