    Hi All,

    Sorry for yet another rubish post but i have 2 questions;

    Firstly, what order and what drivers do you actually install on your 8930's ? Ive only had Win7 Ultimate x64 for a few days but im not too sure im getting the performance i should (unable to benchmark at the moment).

    Secondly, I must admit i didnt mind too much the bloatware Vista applications. Im looking for the same type of functionality on the Win7 install. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

    I do obviously have a list of 'must have' items i will isntall. Just wondering if theres anything im missing out on not having :eek:

    Thanks in advance,

    Dave.

    These are all the drivers you need, all the vista x64 drivers work for win 7 x64

    I dont reccommend the new nvidia drivers as the brightness doesnt work, this one is great though

    For your 5.1 sound download realtek r2.40
