I tried looking for the specs of the Pulsar 300 (old system BTW)
http://uktsupport.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=3701
suggests that it's a Pentium III with a Bora Pro (never heard of) motherboard.
If that sounds correct, then the specs for the motherboard are here

On the intel site http://downloadcenter.intel.com/ all the 440ZX downloads are for older versions of Windows (NT 3.51, 95, 98, NT 4)
I'm not sure what to suggest. A more accurate way of identifying the chipset would be via
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Prod...D=129&lang=eng
download that, run it, and paste what it says.

I'm not 100% certain it'll work, but try this:
