    ok, i have the win7 RC 64bit and in a few hours will fresh install, but-

    as far as drivers go, i have nvidia's win7 graphics drivers...

    but for my motherboard and sound card, it seems there is no specific win7 drivers.
    motherboard is a p5w dh deluxe, soundcard is a creative soundblaster audigy 2zs.

    is it possible to use xp/vista drivers or even the original install cd? noob question.. but i dont know if drivers are specific to only one OS.

    all help appreciated very much.

    Go with the Vista drivers; they work just as well.

    yep stick with the drivers that come with win 7.. least for now- you might potentially run into issues using nvidias- unless someone can confirm otherwise or you want to be the guinea pig =]

    Most Vista drivers will work. There are some things that wont work properly or at all, but the essentials should be there.


    If you are running beta software you are already a guinea pig. ;)
