    Hey, I have a few things I need to do on my comp..
    One is update the motherboard drivers, which has not been done since 03.
    and the next is update my video card drivers if possible, which was from 11/22/06..
    I need to know how to check my motherboard model, etc..
    And then find a 06-07 update if possible.
    Also, is there a newer Nvidia Geforce Fx series driver than 11/22/06?
    If there is, is it available on the nvidia site?
    And also, I really need to get that motherboard driver down, so can anyone please tell me how to check my Mobo info and install a newer driver..thanx.
    (Also, I do not have the box for the mobo the comp is custom-made and I can't check the mobo itself for the info).

    neither one is on the kt600 series boards unless the onboards are disabled in the bios. did you add those cards & if so than will have the driver disks? take a look at the backside of tower to see if have 2 netcards & 2 sets of connectors for 2 soundcards.

    Uhm no two slots for sound card/net card but I remember some1 telling me I need to disable my onboard soundcard on the BIOS after or before I install my MB drivers.
    Not sure how to do that though.

    your onboard sound & netcard are already disabled as what you posted working is not what comes with computer.
