I would appreciate any help or guidance, as my P.C knowledge is limited,

thanks Ken

Based on ASrock's website ( http://www.asrock.com/mb/download.asp?Model=ConRoe1333-D667%20R1.0 ), they don't have drivers that support Windows 7. You would have to rely on Windows 7 picking up and installing the required generic drivers. There is a good chance Windows 7 will pick them up but no guarantee, so proceed at your own risk.

Your best bet would be to contact ASRock Customer Support and see what additional feedback they can provide about support for Windows 7 on your motherboard.

Hi, thanks for your reply and help.
Originally I asked asrock and they replied in the format of hyperlinks to 3-4 websites.
Unfortunately the info contained within the links required a beter p.c knowledge than I pocess.
Your own advice that you gave is far more relivant and clearer, and raises concerns for me about hardware life, as o.s. software can quickly make items redundant well before there expected life. Especially with marketing promoting changes. In practice, newer really does not always mean better

Can you post the 3-4 websites ASRock provided and "we" can see if we can make sense of what they provided??

I'm not having any luck finding any thing that shows support for Windows 7 for your motherboard.
