Default Ordering Vista x64 Ultimate tonight....

So I'd like to hear some feedback, especially from ATI users. I use my PC for everything: gaming, HDTV viewing, you name it.
How is the X-Fi support as well? Do I need to go ahead and download my codecs, such as XVid, ffdshow, directfilter, mastroka, oggvorbis, etc.?
Thanks

X-FI works for the most part. I can't use TS while playing a game though. Also, VOIP in general cuts out sometimes when playing games.

I heard X-FI support is weak for vista.

Also loading a GPU overclock on startup is troublesome in vista 64 bit, but there is a work around that involves uninstalling a windows update and not installing it again.
It was posted in the windows or OS section i think... Might want to check that one out first.

Yea I've heard that the drivers for Vista x64 are really good for the 2900xts
Well I'm pretty excited.

On the TS note: Are you using ventrilo, or is the TS built in for BF2/2142?

I am actually using TS and the ingame VOIP. It is a known and widespread issue.

Easiest work around for GPU overclocking is to BIOS flash the card.

Haha, that's why I decided to get an 8600GTS superclocked when I found a super killer deal. Got tired of clicking "allow blocked program" at startup to OC my reference 8600GT, and ATI tool never worked at all, only rivatuner. I actually kind of like not having to always have some OC tool running in the background as well.

Other than that I absolutely love my Ultimate x64 so far. Everything else has been pretty much flawless for me.

$350 or so.
I probably won't even bother overclocking my GPU if I have to flash.....no flash tools support the card yet. ATI has a tool, but they're keeping it in-house, and only releasing to a select few.....like Kinc.
