    Good evening guys,
    I'm new to the forum, so i don't know if i'm posting correctly. I have a brand new G2S-B2 and just installed Windows Vista Ultimate x64 SP1, but when i started installing the drivers from ASUS website i got all confused. There is a lot of "ATK" drivers and i don't know which to use. Could you guys point to me which drivers do i need to get all features working? Just the basics, so i can get this thing up and running!
    Thanks to all!

    EDIT: Another doubt, is there a proper sequence to install the drivers? I had always started with Chipset drivers.. [SOLVED]

    Just to update the topic, i did some progress.
    Things installed (in order):
    - LAN (Asus website)
    - Chipset Driver (Asus website)
    - ATKDrv (Asus website)
    - ATK HotKey (Asus website)
    - ATK OSD2 (Asus website)
    - VGA Driver (laptopvideo2go website)
    - Audio Driver (Asus website)

    But i still don't know what some programs does, the description is too short, here is a list:
    - ATK Media
    - ATK Generic Function (What's the difference between this and ATKDrv?)
    - NB Software Kit
    - Keyboard Device Filter

    Another thing: Is ASUS website "the best" place to get these drivers or you people suggest other?

    Thanks!

    Here is what I know about the programs
    - ATK Media is a default media select program dont need it

    - ATK Generic Function is for your email notification LED only for outlook email

    - NB Software Kit allows you to check cpu temp, hard drive space and fan status, doesnt work for me most of the time

    - Keyboard Device Filter Dont know what that does either

    Another thing: Is ASUS website "the best" place to get these drivers or you people suggest other? Duh..... yes it is the best site for ASUS drivers
