Ive snooped around for info on this mobo and managed to find a couple of bios updates for windows 7 but thats it, no network driver updates or anything. so im hoping that maybe someone can help. this mobo is pretty beefy and all im gonna do on it is play league in my room instead of the office. it says it supports vista so that gives me a bit of hope.

BIOS doesn't have any required OS. It works before OS even loads. As for other drivers, Asus site has ones for chipset and audio. The board should be compatible with Win7, I've used same age mobo before current. The network should be fine since Asus doesn't provide driver for it. If it doesn't you need to use controllers own drivers.

And yet you still hear people complaining about their poo-brown z97/87/77 boards. That thing is true poo-poo brown.
