Does anyone know if vista 32/64 bit is compatible with quad core cpu's at this time?

Yes quad core is out.
The reason for the question is that an individual on the abit forums is complaining about the AW9D-Max m/b. He installed a quad core QX6700 CPU, and is unable to install any version of vista. It ran fine (vista) with a 965 cpu, but was unable to boot into vista with the quad core.
So he reformatted the drive, and tried to install rc1/rc2 and 64 but was unable to install any of them. I had him update the m/b bios from 12 to beta 13 to recognize the cpu, but he is still unable to install vista.
I realize that vista is still beta and may not support quad core at this time but because the m/b is advertized as being quad core and vista ready, he figures the m/b is at fault.
I was hoping to have an expanation as to why it would not install.
I'm not sure then. but I have PD 930 with asus mobo made beginning of the year, and I installed vista it did install fine. at that time, CPU and mobo manufactuers didn't even worry about vista ready.
I guess quad core is very new, there may be still issues with quad core CPU and mobo compatibility. And if you are running vista ultimate, you need a good graphics card and 2GB+ RAM.
