Although the standard windows generic drivers will work, You will lose performance on some hardware if they do not have the manufacturers specific drivers installed for them.Quote:

Sometimes you can get a later driver directly from the chip manufacturers website but, make sure it is suitable for your hardware if you go this route.
thanks for the reply
so what drivers would you use out of these:

Go to download tab and select win 7 64bit
I'm not an expert by any means but, you will need Chipset, Audio, LAN, USB & SATA drivers.
After you have installed the OS then install the Drivers and you will also need the driver for your graphics card too.
You might be better off looking on the Intel site for the chipset driver and at Marvell Yukon for the latest LAN miniport driver IMHO.
As for the Utilities I guess it depends on what you need or don't need.
