    I'm working on the latest drivers for C90, so far I have
    the following:

    Audio, Ethernet, Chipset, JMicron, Wireless.

    I'd provide links to them all but I think that might cause some confusion
    and.. I don't have the urls anymore lol.. I spent all day hunting them down
    between other stuff.

    (I've also tested them to a basic level, someone else might wanna test them more indepth)

    If someone has the webspace and feels like hosting about 200-ish mb zip file
    let me know.. otherwise it's gonna sit with me =/

    Also I'm seeking other drivers.. I'll list them here on THIS post if anyone wants to help.

    Still seeking drivers for:

    Ricoh xD-Picture Card Host Controller
    SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller
    BT-183 Bluetooth 2.0

    You could always just host it on rapidshare, megaupload, or one of the other numerous free upload sites available.

    hmm.. why it is taking you a day to find the driver is what I cannot understand. If you really want updated driver for each of hardware item in the laptop then
    either you go to Asus website and get them
    OR if you must get driver for each hardware then.
    get VEN_ID and DEV_ID, use it find the chipset information from pcidatabase.com and go the manufacturer site and get the driver for that chipset item.

    I went to asus, it fixed 2 drivers, but 3 remain not at the latest editions.

    Ricoh xD-Picture Card Host Controller
    SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller

    These 2 above are made by ricoh but their site has no drivers.
    Their 3rd party a japanese company also doesn't have drivers for them.
    By this I mean to say not a single driver exists on the manufactuer site.


    BT-183 Bluetooth 2.0

    Isn't even existant on the site you mentioned.

    I remain searching for them.

    Cancer: Did you uninstall the previous version or just install over the top?

    The only issue I have left is the Bsod when using Turbogear in Gaming mode.

    Could be my BIOS (704) but I've eliminated incompatible RAM (2 - 1Gb sticks of Corsair Select). Using Forceware 158.45 version GPU driver. Has to to be the Turbogear.

    firts tried to install over it but the only options that came up were repair or unistall. I choose uninstall (make sure turbogear is not running) restarted and then run the install again

    Thanks, I gave that a try. Now running the new version and noticed I now have an Asus Turbo Gear power plan. Interesting, I don't think that was there before, explored it a little and changed some setting to my preferences.

    Also, I had run the MS Performance updates for Vista, without much noted change. Installed the monthly Windows updates, now my temps have all dropped at least 4 degrees celcius. HDD -54, Temp1 - 56, core0 - 58, core1 - 58??????

    Update:

    The new Turbo Gear didn't solve the issue. Still BSOD's in gaming Mode. This is the only issue I've been unable to resolve. Think I'll leave it alone until the BIOS is out.

    My C90 is up and running at least 6 hours at work and at least 6 hours at home on a daily basis. Other than OC'ing it's solid as a rock. Besides COD2 runs fine with no OC anyway.

    You have to do a search for "ricoh 8-in-1". there are some 9000 series HP that use the same driver AND a IBM lenovo series that uses the same driver. Those two are OLDER versions than what is included with the C90S. I did a very thoughrough search once a week for the last 5 weeks not only for that driver but all of them. As of 12:36pm today, I could not find newer drivers.

    Alright, I didn't want to start a new thread, but here it goes.

    Just received my laptop today. Love it. Runs quite warm, and I've ran into a few odd problems.

    First, my specs:

    2 gig ram
    Core 2 duo at 2.13 ghz
    8600M GT

    How do I check if I have the latest drivers?

    Also, the lower the physical memory % the better right? I'm at 32% right now.

    driveragent.com searches your comp and tells you which of your drivers are outdated.
