Asus® P4P800-E Deluxe motherboard and Windows® 7.

I know there are no Windows® Vista or Windows® 7 drivers released by Asus® for the P4P800-E Deluxe motherboard. The actual computer had an ATI Radeon™ HD 2400 Pro AGP video card installed so I will include that in this article. Windows® 7 did a good job of installing device drivers for most of the components. The only components that needed a new device driver were the audio and RAID systems which I found by searching the Internet. The actual driver zip file contains drivers for other components that Windows® 7 installed but are included in case you need any of them. I have installed every driver listed so I know they work under Windows® 7.

Some files may require that you set compatibility before the install. You only need to set compatibility on the acutal executable file (the install program to run).

  1. Install Windows® 7
  2. Install Windows® 7 Service Pack 1 - if needed
    My Windows® 7 Ultimate included Service Pack 1
    I would recommend installing Service Pack 1 before installing the drivers
  3. Install ATI Radeon™ HD 4000, HD 3000 and HD 2000 Series display drivers:
    Setup should run automatically after you extract the files.
    During the install you may get a "Windows security" warning, install anyway

    There is another download available on the AMD website for HydraVision, which I did not install.
  4. Install SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio drivers:
    Set compatibility to Windows Server 2003 SP1 first, then
    Run setup found in "p4p800s-x\Audio\5410"
  5. Install Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC drivers:
    Set compatibility to Windows Vista SP2 first, then
    Run setup found in "p4p800s-x\Network\Vista_6108_0725"
Asus® CD\DVD burning software.

I did not actually install any CD\DVD software but I see no reason why any current software version would not work.

The Windows Experience Index is only 2.2 because of the graphics component. Aero is working but I did not do much testing.
