    For Macbook Pro 2011 owners running Bootcamp (or Windows only): Does the Intel RST driver run properly?

    I know with my 2010 MBP it wont let me install them, I'm running windows 7x64 with the latest bootcamp drivers.

    Someone told me a EFI patch is necessary to get them running. I won't be doing that.

    it's not worth it to mess with the EFI, the drivers don't provide that much of a gain.
    To be honest Win 7 flies on my MBP with just the regulaur bootcamp drivers, and the latest Nvidia Graphic drivers
