Not if you installed drivers from the OEM Support Downloads webpage that don't work as well as the drivers Win7 wants. You might be getting even better performance if you'd done it correctly.
And it says in the tutorial to put your wireless driver in the backup so you can get online quickly to do all rounds of Updates. But I can see you didn't read the tutorial anyway.
Just go ahead and do it the way you want. That's why you ask for help at the top tech forums on the web, right?
