I should hope so mines built for Crossfire / Conroe / Vista now.
Edit Fail, but only for the old graphics card  Would be upgrading that anyway  Waiting for the DX10 cards to be more avaliable.
For optimal by the way, passed the min and recommended..

Me too!
I don't see the need to upgrade to it on this PC anyway really, when I get my next laptop it will probably have it on anyway by the time I get round to buying one.

I passed, which is good because I had it in the back of my mind to upgrade in a years time when there are enough 64bit drivers about to do the job
I'm just under optimum...

I bet the only reason it said I failed on the graphics ard is because it's just recomended me to buy an ATI card  It actually says on the box for my card that it's designed to be Vista Ready

Mine fails the optimal setting only because of my GFX card, which surprise surprise, is a nVIDIA (well 2x 6600GT SLi to be accurate), so I clicked on their recommended list and every single one was an ATI card - funnily enough!
