I'm about to do a clean of install win 7 professional 64 from vista 64, I have an Asus P6T. I have all my drivers from Asus website that used to update them. I went to Realtek site and I'm more lost than ever. The LAN controller is the " Realtek® 8111C, 1 x Gigabit LAN Controller(s), featuring AI NET2” (The version I currently have is 7.3.522.2009 all from the Asus site which is 5 years old). Do I need to update the drivers or will the old ones work w/win 7 pro? Another issue is I the on board “Realtek ALC1200 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC” audio chip (the version I have is v6.0.1.589 again from Asus site, I’ve spent the last 4 days on this and still can’t figure it out. Any help would be a god send. I dl these "driver update" programs they all seem to say there are 10+ drivers out of date (in particular the Realtek drivers) and when I go to Realtek’s site it shows modern updates but I don’t know which to select its real confusing. Do these drivers update programs lie or are they a scam? Because they are saying I have old Realtek drivers and a few others, It points out I need to update (after paying $40 of course). After going to the asus site it seems like they stopped bothering updating the P6T Realtek drivers for years now. I just managed to solve one problem with the Intel chipset, the version on the asus site was old but the version on intel’s site was way newer. I simply don’t know which of the selection I need to pick that applies to me.
I keep getting responses like use the drivers off the ausus site, as stated above I already said I do and always have. That’s why I have the links since I’ve tried both and use the asus site regularly.
One suggestion I got was to use the drivers off the CD that came with the board, the drivers on the asus site are way newer (but now they are all years old and when the CD came out win 7 was not out yet)

This is Realtek’s web site
http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_1366/P6T/
And this is the asus web site (my exact MOBO) no point even going as the drivers they have are old most at least 2 yrs (just put it in as a comparison, but its pointless as I already have all the drivers off here)
Thanks,

In a nut shell all I need to know is can I get newer drivers off the Realtek site for the “8111C” and “ALC1200” for win 7 64 pro. (I’ve done all the legwork but simply put the Realtek site sucks hence I’m asking for your guys help)
