A7N8X-E Which nForce driver???
I have a new A7N8X-E system.
I just loaded XP, so far so good. Next, I need to get Ethernet working, XP Home OEM CD did not find and load ethernet drivers. I understand I need to load nForce drivers (a.k.a all-in-one, or chipset, or platform) Should I use the nForce drivers from the ASUS CDROM, which are exact same as on ASUS web site, these are the 3.xx series drivers, or......... Should I use the latest drivers from NVIDIA which are the 4.xx series drivers? I pasted both Readme.txt files below. Note there are more files in the one from NVIDA site. I really want to setup all hardware on the A7N8X-E card, but find it so confusing. Especially I am interested in the HDD drivers as I have one of the SATA drive (single drive, no RAID), so..... Does the nForce all-in-one platform driver set have the SATA driver???? Thanks Joe101 ********** Readme.txt from ASUS CD *********************************** This nForce Win2K/XP driver package contains the below components: Audio driver 3.62 (WHQL) Ethernet driver 3.46 (WHQL) GART driver 3.34 (WHQL) SMBus driver 3.38 (WHQL) IDE driver (In-the-box) 3.43 (WHQL) Installer 3.65 ************************************************** ******************* *************** Readme.txt from NVIDA web site ****************** This nForce Win2K/XP driver package contains the below components: Audio driver version 4.42 (WHQL) Audio utility version 4.44 Win2K ethernet driver version 4.16 (WHQL) WinXP ethernet driver version 4.16 (WHQL) Ethernet NRM driver version 4.42 (WHQL) Network management tools version 4.42 GART driver version 4.36 (WHQL) with updated uninstaller files Memory controller driver version 3.38 (WHQL) with updated uninstaller files SMBus driver version 4.04 (WHQL) with updated uninstaller files Installer version 4.46 Win2K IDE 2.6 driver version 4.46 (WHQL) with updated uninstaller files WinXP IDE 2.6 driver version 4.46 (WHQL) with updated uninstaller files ************************************************** ************************* |
