It's not a CD, but it should allow you to get up and running. "GA-M61PME-S2 (rev. 2.x) NVIDIA GeForce 6100 / nForce 430 chipset" http://www.gigabyte.com/products/pro...px?pid=2755#dl You'd install "Chipset/LAN" in any case. I might do that one first. If you're installing in a RAID mode, you might want the SATA RAID one. It might have an option to prepare an F6 floppy with TXTSETUP.OEM and friends on it. The VGA package would be needed, if the computer monitor will be connected to the built-in VGA connector. If you've plugged in a separate video card, then you'd get the driver from the CD in the video card box. The top two audio driver packages, include RealTek and Microsoft UAA. If you have WinXP SP3 or installed SP3 Service Pack, before doing drivers, then UAA should already be present in System Devices in Device Manager. If you have WinXP SP1 or SP2, and are staying at one of those service pack levels forever (not recommended), then the RealTek driver has UAA for SP1 and SP2 included. Or, you could install the separate Microsoft UAA package first (over top of SP1 or SP2, then when the RealTek runs, it won't need to invoke the hotfix for UAA. I know that is very confusing, and there is undoubtedly a discussion on the web somewhere, about possible failure modes for this. I'd probably run the RealTek one standalone, and see what happens. But you can download both, just so you're prepared. If you only downloaded the "Chipset/LAN" one, then chances are you could "bootstrap" yourself out of trouble. You'd be able to browse the web after that one was installed, and download other drivers. Nvidia also offers "Chipset" driver packages from their site. This would be the equivalent of the Gigabyte one. http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us Legacy nForce 4 Series nForce 430 / GeForce 6100 Windows XP English (US) That will return a driver like this: Version: 15.26 Release Date: 2009.03.16 Operating System: Windows XP File Size: 162 MB Inside, it has separate driver sections. Typically, you can tick the ones you want to install. If the motherboard is using the Ethernet controller inside the chipset, then installing the "Ethernet Driver" would enable it, and allow you to surf the web. (I usually look up, what things like this are for, before installing all of them. Just make sure the disk operating mode in the BIOS, is set the way you'll need it, for later, and then you could likely get away with installing all of it.) * Ethernet Driver (v67.89) WHQL * Network Management Tools (v67.96) "Sedona" * SATAIDE Driver (v10.3.0.46) WHQL * SATARAID Driver (v10.3.0.46) WHQL * RAIDTOOL Application (v10.3.0.46) * SMU Driver (v1.61) WHQL * SMBus Driver (v4.69) WHQL * Away Mode Driver (v6.0.6000.107) WHQL * Installer (v6.69) You don't absolutely need the CD, unless there is some utility on there that is worth having.
