Users of any of the nVidia GeForce GO adapters seem to be having issues that
won't be cleared up until nVidia releases a supported set of drivers.

Looking to install Vista Ultimate to 5205-S705 toshiba with "same" video
card.
Apparently Toshiba has proprietary software for it and it has been a
real pain.

The one reason in compatibility is that the memory is to low to run
Aero Glass... no problem here with that cause I would like to use other
features of Ultimate.

Compatibility test also states the video card "will not work" anyone
tried this install on this model laptop?

Plain and simple: if all indications are that the video card won't
work with Aero - and they appear to indicate that from what you say -

You may install Vista but without the proper drivers the laptop will likely
work poorly if at all, and if the compatibility test says you will have
problems then you can expect that you will have problems.

In his first post the OP stated that not having Aero was NOT a problem to
him.
What he is upset about is that NVIDIA provides the source code for it
drivers to the Laptop vendors so that they can make sure the chips work
correctly when they are hard wired into their MOBO connection sockets with
their other MOBO components and therefore he has to get the Vista Go drivers
for his old Nvidia chip from Toshiba.

I didn't say anything about Aero in my entire reply so I don't know why
you're waving that flag around. What I said is factual and completely on
point to this post.
