I installed Windows 7 when the beta was released then upgraded to the RC then to the RTM and I had no issues. Then a week or two ago my MOBO a GAP35DS3L got fried so I upgraded it to a EP43UD3L and I didn't reinstall or anything, but my internet wouldn't work at all I couldn't even connect to my router. So I did a clean install and while it worked it was a lot slower than before. If I download the latest drivers it doesn't connect at all again. Today though it's been REALLY slow like taking ten minutes for a simple website, nothing else on the network is nearly as slow. Any tips?

It sounds like you aren't trying the correct drivers, or getting the drivers right from the NIC manufacturer. Also, what security software are you running?
 
My buddy had a problem with ethernet on Windows 7. Turns out the manufacturers drivers were screwing things up. I told him to revert to windows drivers and everything was fine after that. Give it a shot.
 
I'm using the drivers Windows 7 provides which worked before. Also I tried the driver software from my manufacturer but that didn't work. They didn't even show up being installed. They didn't have like Windows 7 specific drivers.
 
I rebuilt my daughters PC using that exact same motherboard last week, whatever drivers were provided with win 7 RTM is what was used and her internet speed is fine.
 
Hers is wired, used to be wireless but never had a good connection (on vista or win 7)
 
Oh yeah I forgot to answer the other question. No firewall and I use Microsoft Security Essentials for the antivirus. Also weirdly I've noticed my upload speeds get better. I uploaded a 300 meg file to megaupload in like 30 secs and it was the entire file.
