    Has anyone tried the Windows 7 Beta 1 on their DV5-1015TX? Any issues with the installation / drivers etc.?

    Am downloading it now and plan to try it once done. Was just wondering if anyone else here already has?

    Windows 7 looks great on the DV5-1015TX.
    Fast and responsive, havent got all the devices working as yet but initial impressions are very positive.

    In the device manager my display adapter is showing as "NVIDIA NB9P-GS". I know that it is a 9600M GT but can't seem to find a driver for this in Win 7.

    Has anyone here tried to install the 9600M GT vista driver for this in Win7? Not sure if this will work?

    I've installed pretty much all the drivers i could find at the HP site.
    But Device Manager shows me these 2 "Other Devices",
    1) PCI Data Acquisition and Signal Processing Controller
    2) SM Bus Controller

    Anyone know what devices these are and where I can get the drivers for them?

    You need to install the latest version of the Intel Chipset software. :) You can find it here:

    That got rid of the "SM Bus Controller", but the "PCI" thingy still shows up?
