1109899 2010-06-14 23:01:00 Did you install the latest drivers for your network card?

The default ones that come with Windows are probably pretty useless...

Sometimes, but I never trust it even if it does. Too many times I have seen it not just give you outdated drivers but completely screw everything up.

The NIC and audio drivers in Win7 are pretty good. The audio drivers are louder than the ASUS ones (for this PC). I'm using Win7's drivers for the NIC, audio, and video (The resolution is still 1920x1080). Havent had a prob with any of them yet

1109904 2010-06-16 00:10:00 All of my drivers were installed by Windows as the supplied motherboard drivers were not 64bit and everything runs nice gary67 (56)
1109905 2010-06-16 02:24:00 Windows 7 is certainly better but they do not install the same drivers that can be downloaded manually.

I would certainly never run with the default video drivers, the lack of the advanced video control panel is one of the reasons.

1109906 2010-06-16 02:35:00 Dont have to change anything in the driver's control panel anyway. There's nothing in it, that I need. Even if the video drivers were installed, I dont use any options in it Speedy Gonzales (78)
