XP and "Unknown Hardware" window.

I just installed an AMD 64 CPU and an ASUS MoBo. XP is now
giving me this notice that it found a new piece of
hardware. However, it is an "Unknown Device".

How do I find drivers for this item?

Thanx to anyone who helps out.

It would be advisable to at least indicate what the unknown device "could"
be...what other hardware do you have installed in the computer? Did you
install the software from the CD that came with the motherboard?

Did you just swap mobo/CPU on a working XP installation?
If so, then you need to do a "Repair Installation"
