I have the IP35-E and it works fine. I didn't have to install any drivers they all were installed by Windows I think. The only thing I installed was drivers for the audio since the official drivers give you some extra configuration than the standard Windows ones. I got those from the Realtek website.

xxceler8,
Did you find out what was the problem with your Windows 7 x64 installation on the IP35 Pro? I am also having problem. When I restart the computer with the Win 7 DVD in the optical drive it does not boot. When I see the message "Press any key to boot from the CD..." I press the keys and nothing happens. I goes to my Win XP. I already change the boot order in the bios. I tried the same media on other computers and it works OK. I think is something with this motherboard. AHCI? BIOS?
Any help will be appreciated
Where can you get the realtek drivers for windows 7 64 bit for the IP35 Pro? I looked on the website and abit has an old r190, and i'm not sure what to find on the realtek website.
I'm having a hell of a time getting Win7Pro 64 up and running on this mobo. Config:
IP35 Pro
Q6700
ATI 4870
IDE master drive
4gb corsair twinx 2x2gb
Corsair 520HX
After installing, my computer hangs at the "starting windows" screen after the 2nd installation reboot. Cannot get it to budge from this screen. I've unplugged all unnecessary hardware, messed with a bunch of bios settings, checked the dvd i burned, also tried installing from USB stick, to no avail. I really have NO clue as to what to do here, I feel like I've tried everything.
Any suggestions are much appreciated.
Best,
-Dirk

i am having a lot of problems with ip35 pro and 64 bit windows 7. 32bit version installed and runs allright but 64 bit version has been a problem after spending 5 hours no luck. i have updated to latest bios version 17. installation initially took a long time and was very slow between screens. when it finally installed shutdown was very slow and the computer in general did not fell right. after installing the latest bios installation was quicker but did not complete.
i suspect the problem is i am trying to install on a raid 1 configuration. all the hardware is quite good and was running for some years now windows xp (had some problems with pc rebooting with blue screen instead of shutting down when requested). i have 4 gb of ram, q8200, a good psu (enermax liberty) and a graphis card geforce 8400 which I doubt would cause any problems. I am out of ideas any suggestions?
controller is set to raid mode.
has anybody installed win7 64bit on abit ip35pro and raid 1? i suppose next plan is to try to install on one disk only in AHCI.
