manosdoc Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Marvel Yukon Gigabit Chipsets are fully W7 x64 compliant. They come with W7 specific drivers out of the box, the newest version you can find here too. http://www.marvell.com/drivers/search.do If you want to pay more $$ but get one of the best options even for server corporate environments Intel Gigabit Controllers are the TOP.

Subject Delta Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Windows 7 has fantastic support out of the box for almost all brands of network cards, and usually Vista drivers do work in Windows 7 for Network cards with no ill effects, as apart from homegroup support the network stack hasn't really changed a great deal.

Pikey Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I've got two machines with old Realtek RTL8139 cards (or similar) .. and they work just fine. All necessary drivers were installed by Win 7 x64 straight away. I bought these from the local Staples store about .. 5 or 6 years ago I think, so I don't think you will have any probs with more modern cards!
