hi

i have the motherboard k8n diamond plus and i have raid 0 my question is

will windows vista support the sil 3132 controller ? because it's a new
operating system and to my opinion it's a mistake not support chipsets that
are already in the market and as a user i must run to find a driver and to
compromise no to have raid 0

it's in the rc1 version and i am worried about it

WHY MICROSOFT WHY ???

It is upto Silicon Image to provide the required driver to Microsoft so I
suggest that you contact them with your concern.

hi dimitri
i have the 3512 controller and the XP/2003 driver from the SI web site
worked for me. some people have reported using the 64 bit driver even if
they have a 32 bit system, this didn't work for me and i don't recommend
using it. others swear by using the 'base' driver even if you have an SATA
Raid controller, for which there is a different driver. i used the one that
matched my on-board controller and it worked fine.
although the driver was accepted by Vista Setup whether i ran set up from
within XP or booted straight from the DVD, the only stable method was to
boot from the DVD and use the Load Driver option when choosing the
partition.

i would suggest you lobby the board manufacturers, because they are the ones
who are meant to support your product even though they may claim not to be
responsible for the hardware. SI don't support their hardware if it is sold
on another product, this is written on their main support page. your mobo
manufacturer will carry a lot of influence with Silicon Image, compared to a
customer like yourself who never actually bought a Silicon product.

hope this helps
tim

I saw this post and hope you discovered by now that SI released drivers for
Vista. For anyone doing a search on this issue, the link currently is
