The upgrade is complete and the immediate effect is that Windows
Explorer seems a lot quicker. The Hero VII is an odd-looking board, they
run a bunch of LEDs off the +5VSB so that the board glows red even when
off. Using the included fan/heatsink, the processor is running cool. I
stuck the 6850 back into this system and have not yet tried to install
the GTX750. The 750 can handle 3 monitors and that's something I'd like
to do, but I don't have room on the desk yet for 3 monitors.
Abnormalities: With all my USB devices plugged in (Printer, Scanner,
APC, two external drives, two midi keyboards, mouse and keyboad, the
boot-up is slow. There is a 15 second black screen between POST and
Windows loading. Right now I would not recommend the Nanoface
midi/audio interface. I've finally gotten it working with no crackling,
but you have to be darned careful. There is a firmware upgrade, but you
have to install the drivers with the device not hooked up, then hook it
up later. I'm going to stress test the interface by running a team
deathmatch in UT2004.
The to-do list includes looking at the slow boot, making sure all old
drivers are removed.

Can SFC detect whether the correct driver is installed? As for the
system drivers in the Intel exe, it looks like it generates a .inf on
the fly. The .inf files it generated on the netbook were filled with
'no driver'. I tried that anyways, it said installed but didn't
change the situation. Since I can prep this drive beforehand, will
deleting the HD controller drivers make windows reload the generic
drivers? Or maybe I can get away with doing a sysprep? Never did
sysprep before....
Not sure if SFC can fix a driver. Can you use this remove the drivers:
