Windows 7 Drivers
« on: Friday, May 29, 2009, 02:44:45 AM »
The Win7 hardware compatibility and drivers scene is still sparse but it's growing. I thought I'd start this thread for anyone who's having trouble finding some.

Audio:
Realtek just released their Win7 compatible audio driver (for both AC'97 and HD), get it here.
(I have yet to find updated SoundMAX drivers)

Video:
Nvidia
AMD/ATI

Keyboard & Mouse:
Microsoft IntelliType & IntelliPoint drivers

I'll come back and retroactively update this post as I find them.

I also found this:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/upgrade-advisor.aspx

It tells me that nearly everything will work after running Windows update except for my wireless card, which I will need to get drivers for from the vendor.  Of course, my wireless card is now a couple years old and SMC hasn't released an updated driver since the card was released (which pisses me off because I have found that all the computer lockups I was having were not due to my updated AV software or failing hardware; by running a wire along the floor and disabling the wireless card I found it was the wireless card yet there is basically no support at all).
