Windows 7 has the necessary chipset drivers. You can still manually update the drivers if you extract the Intel Chipset driver installer and then point every "Intel..." device in System Devices & USB Controllers (and IDE/ATA Controllers since you're not using AHCI) to that folder in the "Update Driver Software..." wizard, but Windows' own drivers work fine. Likewise with the audio and Ethernet (Windows' own drivers will suffice), but I advise installing those. The Realtek audio driver will install its own sound control panel, but if you really hate it just extract the setup file and point Windows to the driver folder. If you only use IDE emulation mode, you do not require the Intel Rapid Storage Technology, but if you're using eSATA you need the JMicron driver. The Vista x64 µGuru driver works fine in Win7x64.
