Hello everybody, i'm facing some difficulties (again!) so I need your input on this.
This is my Asus A8N-SLI board:
http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=15&l3=148&l4=0& model=382&modelmenu=1
From the download page on the above page I tried to DL the 6.65 chipset drivers so I can install them on a fresh winXP SP2 instalation. I have to do that otherwise I cant upgrade my bios OR install the asus cool'n'quiet or PC probe utilities unless 6.65 drivers are present. Also, i get minimum support in Ntune utiliteis by NVidia.
Under "Drivers" in the DL page of Asus, there is a 6.65 chipset drivers download which is around 30Mb. Under "Utilities" in the samepage, there is again 6.65 chipset drivers but only around 5,5Mb. What to do? DL both and see what happens? Also, on the same page, there a download for a "ACPI driver for ATK 0110 virtual device". What is this? Do I need it?
Thank you all for your patience. I'm not a noob as my first pc was an Intel 8086 @ a massive 3,75Mhz!!! But my pride was my intel 486DX2 2 60Mhz with 16 Mb of ram and a NVidia Riva 128ZX with 8Mb ram in SLI with a Voodoo 2 with 12MB ram!!! More ram on then cards than on the system!! Overclocked, it gave me 80FPS at 1024x768 at quake!! Ah... those where the days....
Anyway, excuse my rumbling. I always believe it is a good think to ask for a second (or third) opinion.
Thank you all!!!
EDIT : I tried the above mentioned 6.65 chipset drivers (the 5,5Mb) and seems that it's a utility that generates a floppy with SATA or PATA RAID drivers! Damn Asus!! I got the nvidia generic drivers though and I hope those might work. Any suggestions?
