I went back and created a small partition on the HD and installed WinXP 32 bit. The install went fine and all the drivers from the mobo install disc and the 181.22 Nvidia worked.

I installed Steam, downloaded Left 4 Dead and played it with all of the graphics options turned to maximum!

Does this mean that my hardware is working 100% and that this is purely a Vista 64 SP1 problem? Does working in 32bit imply that 64bit hardware is good as well?
