m17 two 3870 windows 7 driver question

Hey Guys
I have a m17 and will soon be getting an OCZ vertex 2 SSD and doing a reinstall of windows 7 64bit.

I've got dual 3870s and was never able to get both of them to work in windows 7 no matter what driver I tried so I just gave up. I get a "this device failed to start" error in the device manager next to one of them. I figured the reinstall of windows 7 was the perfect time to fix this issue. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Have you tried this modded driver? There is a step-by-step installation guide in the middle of the page.

cheers ...
