    hi friends
    via trade I got a freebee cpq SR2170NX system that has the VERY obscure ati radeon 1100 express chipset for intel processors. the sys has a vista basic coa but I don't have installable media for that, so ordered from cpq. I have valid keys for windows xp [retired systems I took in similar fashion, dismembered and trashed] so installing it, and typing via it now. but can't find xp drivers for the individual components on the pci etc bus - no audio, inadequate usb, nic, etc.

    do any of you have a breakdown of what the devices are under the hood, and/or a lead on where I might find drivers? i'm using at the moment XP Pro Sp3.

    thx.

    thanks! I had found the motherboard spec.
    believe it or not [this is so rare] - since I was using a usb wifi nic I had it up and going, so once I found the southbridge driver I just let Winxp hunt on the web [ms] for the audio driver and it worked. i was floored.

    this is not a bad little system.... about to drop another gig of ram in there and she'll be scooting - this one has a 3.0 P4, 800 fsb
