I tried to install a bit more powerful video card, and Vista didn't recognize it right away so I decided to reinstall again. I did that, and the performance wasn't much better, but was bearable. I installed all of my stuff and customized the system, and then tried to connect to my network attached hard drive. That didn't work, and I saw on their site it had something do with Vista only supporting NTLM2 authentication, and I needed to download a registry change from the manufacturer's website to fix it.
