Thanks a lot for this man, I tohught my motherboard was obsolete with new OS comming
I just have one doubt, the •>64bit Special nForce3-4 LEGACY Driverpack v9.0 for Vista/Win7 x64 Also support Nforce3 Ultra?
I installed Win7 64x on a single HDD, installed your driver package and then configured Stripe Raid on 2 diferrent HDDs, the thing is that when I reboot the system, this Raid does not appear as a single HDD, I still see 2 HDDs
Am I missing something?
Man you are the best
Cheers

I have tried several driver configurations... some do BSOD on boot, some work (not fine).
But the problem is that performance in 3D is about 15% lower than Windows XP with catalyst 13.9 (same as Win7)
And also, gpu accel in vlc on = green image with sound. Accel on = poor video performance.
Currently Win7 x64 has chipset driver from your Optimized Package, and agp bus changed from nforce3 250 to nforce3, and of course catalyst 13.9 installed manually via device manager.
Specs are:
A 3000+ @ 2.4GHz
Sapphire HD3850 AGP
3GB ram kingmax/corsair @ 2 2 10 2 180MHz
Epox EP-9nda3+
Have no idea what to do for better performance. Should be same as xp? maybe few % lower, but 15? that's strange.

Please remember: NVIDIA nForce3 chipsets are not supported by the post-XP Windows Operating Systems. This has been stated very often by Microsoft and NVIDIA.
Nevertheless some nForce3 systems are running fine with Vista, Win7 or Win8, but the users are just lucky with their special hardware configuration and driver choice.
If you should have already tested all available nForce drivers (inclusive the modded ones), you will have only the option to change either your mainboard or the OS.

Hello Fernando,

Just read these pages and your work is very impressive. Let me update you on a problem I'm having (and other users too).

I have an Evga 780i (132-CK-NF78). Although it still works ok with a quadcore in win7 x64 I had a problem when updated to an intel ssd (ssd brand does not matter) as Nvidia stopped supporting the chipset before the ssds became mainstream.

The problem:
If I use the latest nforce chipset drivers 15.58 (or the ones installed by windows at installation) ssd trim functionality via the intel ssd toolbox doesn't work. I can update the driver with the microsoft one (as detailed here) and the ssd trim/intel ssd toolbox WILL work.
The problem is that in BOTH CASES any ssd will get recognized as sata1 instead of sata2 due to a compatibility bug in the drivers. So SSDs are very slow with this board.

I have seen numerous people complain to the ssd manufacturers' boards but its not their fault - its nvidia's - and they have acknowledged this. But they say no update because product is -end of life-.

SSD in my case is used single - no raid.

Have you addressed this issue in your drivers? Which one should I try?

Best regards and most important HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
