Finally moving to Win7 64bit on my main rig, but just had a question about drivers.
What drivers exactly do I need?
On their site, there are only two drivers under Win7 64bit available that I can see I would even need: audio and SATA (if I do need the SATA drivers, not even sure).
Nothing for the chipset, ethernet, miniport drivers etc. ...so do they not require/have 64bit versions?
Can I just use what is on the mobo disc for all of that, then?
Anything I'm missing, or don't need specifically?
I just need what comes on the mobo disc, just the basics, but for 64bit. I don't use any of the AI Suite, PC Probe stuff etc. and don't run in RAID.
Some people have said they've used Vista drivers that have worked fine, but since I'm not even sure exactly what I need in 64bit versions, I don't know that there's anything even "missing" from the list of downloads for my mobo on their site.
I know Win7 searches for and finds most drivers you need automatically, but in the event that it doesn't for some reason, I have to know what I'm looking for, so any help would be appreciated, thanks.
