I'm running a GeForce GO 6150 on my TurionX2 notebook with Vista x64. x64 Forceware won't install since it doesnt recognize the GO chips. I manually updated the display driver (which defauled to Standard VGA) to the Geforce GO 6800 and everything (Aero included) is working just fine. 

I'm running 2GB of system memory.  The video is using a dedicated 64MB with up to 335MB available.  Performance Information score went from 1.0 to 2.4 for Gaming graphics and from 1.0 to 2.6 for desktop graphics, allowing Aero.  System runs a bit laggier now (with aero off everything was superfast) but otherwise is perfectly fine.  I was also finally able to put the resolution back up to my native 1280x800.

As far as I know they don't have for FireGL 7100 Vista x64bit drivers nor 32 bit drivers.

Comment to the moderator of this forum...

The released Catalyst 7.1 Vista 32-bit and 64-bit drivers are posted at the AMD/ATI site now, so you might want to consider either dropping this thread, or replacing it with a link to the AMD/ATI site.

GeForce 4 and Vista generaly do not like each other. This is because the card is too old to have been properly configured to run vista. It is a common problem. I suggest you buy a newer card to run vista. You can get a X1650 quite cheap and it works like a charm. Can even enjoy Oblivion if you have the RAM. You can try downloading newer drivers for your GeForce 4. But as i said it won't give you the proper experience.

Bobster: the betas are generaly not supported by ATI anymore.
Theater: The betas are working really bad compared to the full releases. You gotta remmember it is only a beta. Most of these problems have been fixed with the full releases. I can vouch for this as i am a proud owner of an ultimate edition.

So it is. The link to the AMD/ATI driver search page has been updated. Thanks for bringing that to our attention.
