New install of Win 7 Home Prem. 64, driver ?'s  

The install went fine, from XP Pro 32 to Win. 7 64 Home Prem.. I have noticed that MOST drivers (Device Mgr.) are from M$, they are all working fine, NO problems.

I have a Asus P6T motherboard which came w/an Intel X58 / ICH10R chipset, onboard LAN Realtek 8111c and onboard Audio Realtek ACL1200.

In Device Mgr.:
The onboard Audio shows as - High Definition Audio Device, M$ Driver from 2010

The onboard LAN shows as - Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller, Realtek Driver, ver. 7.46.610.2011

The Intel Chipset shows up under "System Devices" along with many other Intel(R) items, all have M$ drivers from 2006, ver. 6.1.7601.17514

Win 7 seems to work differently than XP pro and I am still getting used to Win 7, even though everything works I would like to install a Realtek driver for the Audio, updated Intel Chipset drivers and possibly updated LAN driver, if possible.

I have found drivers from the Realtek site for Win.7 64 audio and LAN, also from the ASUS site.

The Intel Chipset driver is another story, not sure if I am looking in the right place on the Intel site for the X58

I know "if it ain't broke - don't fix it" this is a computer, you have to "mess" with it

Some help will be appreciated

Please bare with me here, I am trying to grasp what will happen with this update -

If I just "run" the .exe file will ALL the Intel drivers in "system devices" be changed and updated to Intel ?

or

Do I have to go to the Asus site for my MB Chipset driver 1st, save that driver and use "device mgr" to update all 17 Intel entries, and would I have to do each entry or could I delete all 17, reboot and then install the Asus chipset driver, reboot and then use the link that Maxie referred to ?

I know when I did this with my XP OS I already had the Intel drivers from the beginning

These 2 attachments may help

Thanks again

OK, I ran the .exe file from Intel, now in Device Mgr. some of the items I have circled in the above attachment show as Intel drivers and some do not (still M$), also some items under "general" tab show "no drivers installed"

Device Mgr. is clean - nothing red or yellow showing

Could you explain what is going on ?

Sorry if I am being a PITA

Here are some screenshots, random, from the 17 items circled in device mgr.
