Intel Drivers
The Intel drivers submitted to Windows Update (the ones Windows 7 uses by default) absolutely, positively SUCK! Go immediately to the Intel Download Center and download the latest stable drivers for your chipset for Windows 7 (which have been available since mid-September), and I guarantee your results will be better in those circumstances. The same applies to installing the latest Intel Chipset and Storage Matrix drivers.
