    I have to restart my wireless card every time I turn on my computer / return from sleep to connect to wireless networks, and I almost consistently get stuck at 1 Mbps on 802.11n (yes N)...

    It's not the wireless router, I've changed that out.

    If i remember correctly you have to uninstall the Nvidia network manager software as i had a similar problem right after booting.

    And I still have bad driver lag from SLI drivers that creates audio stuttering.

    Win7 kinda sucks from the driver support standpoint.
