Ok, RealTek appears to have some of the crappiest download mirrors on the internet, so I am now mirroring the latest RealTek drivers for all to use. My frustration of 15k and lower download speeds with a lack of decent US mirrors drove me to this haha. 

So, if you have Windows vista 32 bit or 64 bit, you can get the RealTek Driver Package R1.86 here – http://www.larmeir.com/downloads/Vista_R186.zip

If you have Windows Vista 32 or 64 bit and need the RealTek Ac97 codec driver get it here -  http://www.larmeir.com/downloads/6285_Vista_APO.zip

Please do not directly hyperlink to these urls as this bandwidth does cost me, however I am providing this to everyone as a good will gesture and I am running on a rock solid network – Enjoy!
