Also place the HDD that will hold your OS on SATA 1 and update your BIOS to 0901 if you have not to see if this is the problem also.

I am running XP/64 with no problems.

You never said if you are using just Vista without SP1 or not, If only Vista, then you should slipstream SP1 into a new CD or DVD
i have decided that im just gonna get xp 64 bit to work instead of vista so i dont have problems with the ram and can elminate that. but i verified the cd works. right now i am on xp 32 bit. i am also on 901 bios. and it still doesnt work.
