Has anyone tried running Win 7 on an AMD Dual Core X2 system with the Nforce 3 chipset & ATI graphics card? This combination didn't work with Vista, I'm wondering if 7 is any different?

Vista doesn't support the way Nforce 3 runs ATI AGP cards when a dual core processor is installed.

Or something like that.

Since Windows 7 is based on Vista, I doubt it will work. The Vista/nForce3/ATI problems are discussed here:

Yeah you are going to need at least an Neforce 4 or higher to run vista/7 properly wit the config you are using. You can always find a nforce 4 S939 motherboard real cheap now.
