Well, I can share an experience I had with this MB...
I allowed WindowsUpdate to update the driver, and WHAM! All Kinds of
problems - locking up, poor performance...
I reinstalled the original driver from the CD that came with the MB, and
problem solved.
You can tell which is installed by looking at the Properties of the
Driver (Device Manager). If it says 'PCI' in the driver description,
then it is the one from Windows Update. I know that the one offered by
WU has changed at least two or three times since I saw this problem, so
maybe the newer version(s) are fixed, but the original works fine, so I
set that driver to never install.
