ALl I did was go to device mangler, select the WIreless adapter (IT WAS showing up, but still banged out)... select update driver and then point to the CD|Drivers|Vista\X64 directory... WOrks like a charm mang.
Running like a track star on this Dual proc Dual core AMD 64 setup too son!!! Its fast as ---- when you enable dual processors in MSCONFIG...

Didn't make sense to me that Vista installed it from the first boot with no issues, but Win7 didn't and won't. I was thinking maybe the Win7 disc just didn't come with the drivers, but that didn't really explain why the ones from Linksys/Ralink weren't working. I'll try searching for the drivers on both the Vista and Win7 discs.
Now, what msconfig tweak are you talking about? I've never had to alter msconfig and have done encoding/unrar-ing/etc putting all 4 cores at 100% load. Is that only for multiple processors and not multi-core?
oh yeah, device mangler lolz

Ahh yeah i know what your saying, I enabled that to. I love dual dual core's :-)
But I didn't really notice a speed difference when I did it, other then loading.. Probably because almost every prog I use is 32

The Intel quad I have is just two dual core procs shoved on one die, so runs just as well.
BDVT, the installer programs would seem to work, but device manager still would show it without drivers. I also tried browsing to the directories of the drivers last night and it still wouldn't work. So far, it's a no-go.
