Realtek has possibly the slowest FTP site on the internet.

nope try gigabyte website before you even get to the download :<

Anyone know the reason why it seems that .tw is very very slow?

Example, if you live in Italy, and you want to download a driver, you get 2 options to Download the driver, from US server and one from UK server, the UK server will be much more faster because it's closer than the US one, it will only be slower if the the UK server is much worst than the US server.

Translating, the servers which are more close to us tend to be more faster.

Two mirrors:

Vista Version: ftp://majorgeeks.mirror.internode.on.net/.../Vista_R185.exe

XP Version: ftp://majorgeeks.mirror.internode.on.net/...rs/WDM_R185.exe

Yeah, these guys put Creative to shame!

Any mirrors for Vista_R185.exe ("Vista Driver(32/64 bits) Driver only (Executable file)")?

majorgeeks typically has much faster servers.

I have some doubts this will fix the mic issues people have with onboard sound. It's never been fixed before. Google realtek mic problems for thousands of posts.

Your codec it's not on the list because it's not from the "High Definition" series.

Your codec is from the AC97 series.

You can find the latest drivers for your codec here: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downlo...GetDown=false#1

;)

Wicked! Realtek know how to look after their customers.

Have the changed the ugly systray icon yet, I wonder.

prolly not.

Somewhat tempted to buy some hardware just to try the drivers out. Realtek keep piling on the changes oh and my amp would like the distraction no doubt.
