lan party nf4 motherboard drivers

[McShine]

I've recently aquired a pc with a Lan Party nf4 series motherboard (i'm not sure excactly which). The hardrive has been formatted an a fresh windows xp installation has been done. Unfortunatly some of the drivers have been lost such as the ethernet controller, RAID controller, etc. I dont have the driver disk that came with the motherboard. I have tried to find the drivers that i need on the net but this is difficult because i'm new to all of this and i'm not sure what i'm looking for. PLEASE HELP!

Almost exactly the same, except instead of an "NF4" lable it says "SLI MULTI GPU", and the red green and blue sockets at the top right arent there.

Again, close but no cigar. will there be any other markings that will identify it?

I think I found it cuz where the red green and blue sockets are in the 1st pic I showed you does it have a lil slot like if a lil card slot look at pic

I've looked through the list and i cant find one. is it worth trying the "nvidia system driver"?
