EQS motherboard drivers

[dynamitedan74]

Hi, I've completely run into a brick wall here, but I've got a desktop with a EQS (not ECS) M55P9 MLF socket 775 motherboard in it, but I've re-installed windows on the machine, can't find the original driver cd (which I'm not sure I even had as the board was bundled with the CPU many moons ago), and I cannot find any drivers for it online. EQS doesn't even seem to exist anymore, and the domain just points to some Chinese health site. Could anyone please help?

You will have to translate the page from German (google will do this automatically, but these look like the drivers you need.

I found the some info for your MB, it has the ATI Xpress 200G, support cpu like Pentium D / Pentium 4 HT / Celeron D, DDR 400 memory, Realtek 81xx Series 10/100 Mbps LAN, and Realtek ALC861 audio. Info: http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/mainboard/1210-intel-i945g-chipset/?page=4
If you use win7 or up you may not need them at all, because the OS will install the drivers.

silverliquicity - Thanks, but I found that page before and followed the links, but they all seem to be dead, unless I'm not seeing a download link on the actual page.

cin19 - Thanks also, but I'm running XP and whilst the O/S works it doesn't recognise the graphics and sound hardware, although the network card and USB ports all seem to work fine. It has ATI gfx built in, as you say, but it won't see the Geforce 6600gt that I have in the PCIE slot.

If you use onboard audio, you can get the driver from realtek http://www.realtek.com.tw/
For the 6600gt, you have to find the BIOS, if you can't find one, you are out of luck, because the MB need the BIOS to recognize the gpu.

Yeah I think that's probably the case. I was hoping to salvage some life out of it as a 2nd PC for LAN gaming, but it seems it's toast. I thought it recognised the card when I had Ubuntu installed on it, and I never installed any bios or drivers for it then. Anyway thanks for your help.
