Asus this week announced new beta drivers for several of its motherboards that "enable Asus motherboard users to run Windows 7 RC." By doing so, Asus claims its mobos are the world's first to support the newly released operating system.
"Asus' industry-leading Research & Development team has kept close pace with each new beta release of Windows 7, and has developed beta drivers that enable Asus motherboard users to try Windows 7 RC immediately," Asus wrote in a press release. "The drivers can be downloaded from the Asus Motherboard Support website (http://support.asus.com/)."
Asus notes the following models are now officially supported:
- P6T Deluxe V2
- P5Q-E
- P5Q PRO Turbo
- P5Q SE PLUS
- M4A78-EM
Updated drivers for the full range of P6T, P5Q, and M4 series boards will be coming soon, Asus says.

I've been running the Windows 7 Beta x64 bit for a few months on my Gigabyte m57-sli board with zero issues at all. I'm installing the RC tonight after work, but I don't expect any issues with it either. But then, I'm not running an Asus board, and I never will again. Two different bad experiences with those clowns.

-- that is left to Vista x64 -- but why no drivers for this board..?!
