Windows 7 - Chipset driver. Is it really necessary?

For sure. And that Google plugin can shure be a great help with their site that runs in the rural speed zone.

Oops, my bad, I really thought ASUS had released Win 7 drivers for all their mobo's.

I guess I'm a lucky SOB.

Yeah sucks too cuz i have an ASUS mobo its relatively new, and i can't even install the disk it came with because it either doesn't support my Windows 7 or my 64bit. Either way says my OS isn't supported and that sucks. The only thing i could even use on the disk was the probe tool which is pretty ugly lol but it works very nicely!

Me too Criminal, I really thought that running the DVD under Win 7 wouldn't give me any problems. Wrong!.

There's a Win 7 compatible version of Probe over at asus.com. Go check it out.

I really wish i could skin the damn thing. lol There's no Rainmeter or gadget that gives me all the info Probe gave me. But thanks i'll check it out now.

I wish Everest could be linked to Rainmeter.

Just looked that up and yeah it'd be great if stuff like that could me more visually appealing
I'd rather use that than the Probe tool lol

Yes, Everest goes way beyond probe. which is the same piece of cr*p it was 10 yrs ago.

Asus makes technically very good boards, but development of drivers and software at Asus has always been a disgrace, for such high end products.

They are way to slow on updated drivers, and they abandon the product way too soon.

By the time all the bugs are out, a new OS has already been introduced.

But it's the same story for all hardware manufacturers.
Sell and Abandon.
