Ethernet Driver issue/GA X48 DS5

**alan1476** · 02-05-2009

Is anyone experiencing very slow connectivity with the Realtek 8111 drivers. I went to the Realtek website and found some older drivers that really helped my issue. I just wonder if there are issues with the updated driver and Vista 64bit Operating systems.

i up dated to the 6.218.317.2009 (Vista Premium 64)from RealTek site and yes i have had problems with ethernet issues.But this seemed to fix them Vista update still wants to install old driver.This is the 1 and only problem i have had with this motherboard other than that it has been Amazing.

Yup I agree I love the board, I am using the RTL8168 drivers and wont let Vista update to the newers one. These work fine. Other than that I have this board with the Q9550 OCd to 3.4GHz and 8 gbs of Ram and its as good as I expected.

is it by anychance when your overclocking you have this problem?

No, but thankyou for the suggestion, the board works great with older drivers and for some reason when they updated them they just do not work correctly with Vista 64. I have since moved on to the i7 980X and an X58 ASUS board and have no issues what so ever. Thanks.

I kinda had a problem with the drivers from the cd if i overclocked, if i didnt it was fine, but if i did it used to randomly disconnect for abit... uninstalled them and using windows 7 default drivers and all seems fine atm
