    I downloaded the driver off dell's website for win 7 and installed it. It seemed like it was fine and after restarting, the computer recognized the two 260's SLI. However, my wireless just wouldn't work no matter what I did. It was working fine before installing this specific driver. Afterwards, I uninstalled the driver to see if that was the problem and sure enough, it was. Any idea of whats going on??

    Any suggestions for any good drivers for dual sli 260's?

    Thanks!

    Reinstall nvidia drivers .Go to device manager click on Network adapters right click on Nvidia Nforce go to properties click on power management enable allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.That should be it.
