The other chipset drivers (ICH7-M) did not change – they still register as the default Windows 7 drivers (and they are probably Vista-based) – Version. I will probably run some before/after benchmarks just to see. What those changes are, I haven’t looked at yet – it could very well be related to Windows 7 (they are probably based on Vista drivers). These are the before and after Intel Mobile Express 945 chipset/graphics updates:Īs you can see, the 945 chipset/graphics drivers did change. On the right is the Atheros Ethernet (AR8121/AR8113/AR8114) driver that is installed through automatic update: On the left is the Atheros Wireless driver (AR5007EG) that’s installed with Windows 7 by default. This is what the automatic updates includes: Here is before (left) you go through automatic updates and then after(right): I haven’t yet transferred any of the 3rd party software over from the original install (I’ve installed Windows 7 on a separate hard drive so as to preserve the original), but I will be taking a look at that later today. Arguably, some of the functionality provided by either Acer-specific software or third-party software is taken care of by built-in software and features that are included with Windows 7, so you may not even lose any functionality. With a few driver updates and installs, you’ll be at nearly the same level with Windows 7 as you would be with the original Windows XP Home installation that came installed. No settings have been tweaked.įirst off, you aren’t really going to lose any functionality. I’ll be running it before updating the graphics/chipset drivers. This is with the updated drivers (see below). Let’s get this out of the way now – I’ll be running this a few times over the weekend, including with a new install, but here’s what turned up the first time I ran it. – 10-inch Acer Aspire One – Windows 7 – – Synaptics Touchpad Drivers/Setup – 10-inch Acer Aspire One – Windows 7 – – Drivers, Updates, Networking – 10.1-inch Acer Aspire One Review – Part 2: Windows 7 – 10.1-inch Acer Aspire One Review – Part 1: 10.1-inch Acer Aspire One versus 8.9-inch Acer Aspire One
