Hi guys,

I have laying around an "el cheapo" PC (bought from a supermarket) which I plan on repurposing as an asset server for all my photography assets and textures etc.

The problem is that the motherboard is based on a low end consumer chipset (Nvidia MCP73), and I can only seem to find chipset/LAN/graphics drivers for Vista or Vista SP1.

As they are based on the same kernel, will Vista SP1 drivers work with Server 2008?

Thanks,

Martin

Yeah,they should work since its the same driver model.But,I would try to find drivers that are compatible with Server 2008 so u don't have problems later.

Thanks computerwizkid.

I don't think NVidia made any Server 2008 specific drivers for the MCP73 boards, because it's a low end consumer system...

Thanks!

Martin

Server 2008 and Vista SP1 are the exact same code tree, so drivers designed for one will work for the other in almost all circumstances.

Am running server 2008 as workstation (SP2). All my vista drivers works just perfect on server 2008. I never had any problems with drivers under server at all.

As cluberti mentioned, vista and server are the exact same code tree (same driver model)

Many thanks guys!

Thanks
