Back in the day during the i875 and i975 dominance we would always get our chipset drivers directly from Intel. The only issue was that for whatever reason the ICH Family SMBus Controller always had a IRQ conflict that we could never solve. Be that as it may the boards still worked great and never experienced any problems. Then came the X38 chipset and Intel no longer provided drivers for it. I recall reading (I don't recall where) that Intel was never in the business of supplying universal chipset drivers and you should go to your own manufacture/OEM for chipset driver updates.
Since then we have stop going to Intel for chipset drivers. Using them has always been a gamble as they were designed specifically for their own motherboards. However back then they worked well with other motherboards.
my motherboard tends to disagree with your statement.

Russinovich went on to explain why Windows 7 is faster. Memory footprint was reduced by up to 30 per cent by reviewing excessive memory allocations, and by refactoring the Desktop Window Manager (DWM) to avoid a second copy of every Window being held in memory. The registry is no longer accessed as a memory-mapped file, reverting a change made for Windows XP. Processes that consume large amounts of memory are more aggressively pruned.
FTH is interesting to say the least. This may actually increase the address space in 32-bit Win7. However more information is needed about how this technically works.How about reliability? This was fascinating. Microsoft observed that 15 per cent of all user-mode crashes and 30 per cent of shutdown crashes were caused by heap corruption: applications that try to access freed memory, or memory beyond what is allocated. Its solution was a feature called the Fault Tolerant Heap (FTH).
...
If an application crashes a few times, Windows will automatically apply a shim that intercepts its memory operations. FTH will over-allocate memory, and keep a copy of freed memory so that attempts to re-read it will succeed. The user gets better reliability at the expense of performance, which suffers by up to 15 per cent or so, while buggy applications work better than you would expect.
Odd, I've never found this mentioned until now. So in essence, UAC will not protect you.Russinovich also spoke about the contentious User Account Control (UAC), which prompts the user to approve actions that should require administrative rights. "UAC is not an anti-malware solution," he said. "If you think you are safe from malware because you are in one of those prompting modes, you're wrong. If malware gets on your box, and you are admin, you must assume that malware will gain admin rights."
Proving the point, he showed how a genuine, signed Microsoft executable might load a malicious process, invisible to the user. So what is the point of UAC? "It is about one thing, which is about getting you guys to write your code so that it runs well as standard user."

So due to some random issues, I can't get explorer to open in my 7 partition on my desktop.
So goodbye 7 on my desktop. But it will continue to be my main OS on my laptop.
And until I build a new system, I will not run 7 on my desktop.

just a tip. if you enable true admin you can get all your icons startmenu stuff back by copying the contents of your user folder to the admin folder. just press CTRL+A (to get hidden stuff like the app data folder) and copy it into the admin folder (choose overwrite all) log out and log into the admin one and its like you never made the switch then you can del your old account to free up the space just a heads
