OQO model e2 review

Reviews On the flipside, a fast 1.6GHz chip means the e2 can use Windows Vista Ultimate edition as standard. It sports several enhancements over its predecessor including a faster CPU, Windows Vista as standard.

Razer DeathAdder review

Reviews Both Windows XP and Vista recognised it without asking us to install any software. We were surprised that the DeathAdder didn't come with a Windows Vista driver though. The DeathAdder's box even claims Vista support, which makes this omission...

Nvidia GeForce 7950 GX2 review

Reviews The problem is Windows Vista, or more specifically, Vista's updated multimedia programming interface, DirectX 10. Microsoft has stated that Vista will support DirectX 9 software and hardware but that the OS will ship with DirectX 10.
