Hey, I'm new to the site.

I was just recently given an Intel Pentium 4 1.6 Ghz. I installed Windows XP on it. (It had nothing on it before.) So I checked out the hardware manager about half way down the list it names a bunch of unknown devices such as.

Ethernet Controller
Multimedia Audio controller
PCI Simple communications controller
Video Controller
Video controller (VGA compatible)

Internet wont work on it, I'm guessing that has to do with ethernet controller. Some one told me I need the motherboard CD to install the drivers and such but I don't have it and neither do the people who gave me the computer. Is there any way to download the drivers for the motherboard with out the CD?

look on the motherboard ...... you will see the model name and number printed .....we need that!

Sorry about that.

Well right on it, it says P4X400 and on a sticker or something not to far away there are these numbers.

PAPB 400 FL
C2527000363

I'm not exactly sure if this is what you are looking for :xolconfus

I believe your motherboard is a SOYO could you look again and see if you see that name

rather confident this is what you want .......... you have onboard video with this board ?????

Um... I don't see any thing that says SOYO on it, but I do see several little chips that have VIA on it.
