Gigabyte Mobo Drivers & Windows 7

[zephead]

My hard drive finally died two days and I just installed Windows 7 home 64 bit 3 hours ago.

My question being do I need to download the mobo drivers or does Windows 7 automatically find all drivers and install them accordingly?

This is my Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128034

Well you should still have to download certain drivers like the chipset driver, LAN driver and the sound driver ect. That board is so old I'm not sure there are Windows 7 x64 drivers for it. You may need to use the Vista drivers.

Thank you for the reply. I searched all over that site and couldn't find my exact Mobo, so thank you for the link.

Don't be hating on my 5yr old Mobo it's still running strong .

Concerning the drivers my LAN connection is working, and the sound works fine on all applications. Does this mean I don't need to download any of the drivers from the website?

Also I didn't notice a chipset driver option in the download tab on the link you posted. Am I overlooking it or has it already been installed by Windows 7?

Chipset and LAN drivers are together under Vista x64. You may want the Realtek audio because it should give you the mixer and all the extras.
