    Hello.

    Recently I have decided to Upgrade from windows 7 32bit to the 64bit version. I have made sure my System Is compatible using the Windows tool on there website.
    My question Is will I have to upgrade my Motherboard Drivers to a 64bit version? Also! I do this after I install the 64Bit OS?

    I have never Updated my Motherboard drivers before so have little Idea on the Process. My Mainboard is a EVGA NF680i SLI (Or so it says on the driver disc that came with the Pc). Any Info greatly Welcomed!

    Thanks
    Matt

    Start with clean install of your 64bit OS then install the latest chipset drivers etc for your mobo
    You can locate and download ahead of time save them to cd usb what ever.

    You might try this too after your new OS is up and running...
