Man what a week this has been after the Rage with Lara Croft Tomb Raider Anniversary and with all that Rage I moved on to Windows 7 (64-bit). A total of six days testing, installing, rebooting and much much more plus on top of that I got sick two days ago and its only breaking now. All drivers for the ASUS P5Q Pro installed with no problems and just about all my favorites Top applications work excellent, there was just one I lost and that was Microsoft Private Folder witch got replaced with TrueCrypt.
The networking couldn't get any easier the only thing I did was join my workgroup fired up the Cmd and everything fell in place really nice. I did run in some problems with sharing the printer over the network but that was also easily to over come. The PC Games was really time consuming the list can be found below, I did run into some problems and I though I would lose a lot of PC Games upgrading to Windows 7 (64-bit) but it turns out every game worked great I also tested the Razer Onza TE gaming controller I have here the same time. When I started testing I disabled User Account Control (UAC) and Aero theme.
