Question for y'all - for Vista 64-bit, what drivers do you recommend I install off of the first page in this thread?

There are some that are labeled 64-bit, but not 64-bit Vista (Intel chipset, JMicron SATA, ...). Are these OK or even necessary? Are all of the ports JMicron, or just the eSata ports?

Vista seemed to work fine without any additional drivers. Just wondering if there is any improvement to be gained with these driver updates...

thanks!

Vista will install it's own default drivers if it thinks it needs a driver. That helps it work on most systems with the user not having to do anything.

However, the default drivers that Vista loads are often generic drivers that are probably not the best for your board. I installed all the drivers listed - the 64-bit versions where listed. Since I'm not using the 2 e-SATA ports, could probably have omitted installing the jMicron drivers for those, but went ahead and did it so I wouldn't need to bother later.

Your system profile looks a lot like mine. Good luck.
