Default Vista and MSI K8N Neo 2 Motherboard

I am looking at doing dual boot XP / Vista this week end. However i was just on my motherboard's (MSI Neo2 Platium), and I have noticed that the only driver Vista Driver 32 Bit that is on any of MSI's website is the Realtek Gigabit Ethernet Drivers.

All the other drivers are 2k/Xp and XP 64-Bit, and the occasional 98Se.

Does any one know if Vista all ready has default drivers for the following
  • AMD Cool and Quiet Driver
  • NVIDIA nForce3 System Drivers
  • Realtek ALC Series AC'97 Audio Drivers for MSI nForce 3 Series board
  • Nvidia nForce3 SATA/RAID driver for Windows 2K/XP
Or should I wait for Vista drivers for the above? Or should I vist the chipset manufacturer's websites for these drivers.

I currently do not have RAID on my sister, so I am not fussed about that last one.


Have any one here used a MSI Neo2 Platium MoBo with Vista yet? Or should I just stick another hard drive is and find out for myself first?
