My primary machine is a DELL D820 and I'm running Vista RTM. I was thinking that not only the graphics seemed a bit sluggish but also Vista Performance tool (just go Start->Performance Information & Tools) reported my Graphics rating as 2.3 out of 5.9 which aint so good. I checked out the installed driver and saw that it was a Microsoft generic driver so I surfed to the DELL website and had a quick look to see if there was a better driver. Sure enough, I found the Nvidia driver and installed it. After rebooting, I asked Performance Information & Tools to update my score and it then came in at 3.6 and the UI is really, really zippy compared to what it was.
So if you're running Vista and you're using the generic display driver, go find the non generic one and enjoy Vista even more :)

I recently installed Vista Home Premium on my Asus A6J and encountered surprisingly few driver issues. Only my sound card and usb webcam had problems.
