NVIDIA is a company best known for its video cards. Lesser known is the NVIDIA nForce motherboard chipset, used on a variety of motherboards. The nForce chipset includes memory, sound and networking controllers, and thus, the NVIDIA motherboard drivers control a computer's memory, sound and network access ability. Users must uninstall the NVIDIA motherboard drivers before installing a new, upgraded version. Alternatively, older versions of the NVIDIA nForce motherboard chipset are supported natively by Windows Vista; uninstall the NVIDIA motherboard drivers to use Windows Vista's built-in drivers.
