since when did old mb driver updating become like the underground drug trade?
you cant find a free driver download anywhere unless you buy a utility or download one that fills your system with viruses and spyware that takes days to purge from your system and even then you often get the wrong drivers.
so what are you supposed to do and where do you go that is safe "and free" to get downloads for old motherboards?
im looking for win xp drivers for an old socket 478 dell motherboard so you can imagine finding the hardware driver numbers i need is not easy to begin with.
it gets worse because I cant use dell website to find my drivers because it wont connect to internet because the lan driver is corrupted and it wont work with just a number, the computer must physically be connected so it can be scanned
through the device manager I know I have
Intel(R) 82801DB Ultra ATA Storage Controller - 24CB
intel pro/1000 mt network adapter LAN
pci bridge 8201-244e
anybody out there have any of these drivers because dell sure doesn't have them even though they sold this POS computer?
