Hi

Yeah thats an oldie, and just looked at ASUS and they dont seem to have that one or any older mobo downloads in their database these days, so best option is to manually find them and maybe we can help in if you follow the below as written and attach the Everest log, we could be able to find the drivers manually, by looking for what hardware is used and matching up drivers as in Chipset, Audio, Networking etc

Download and install Everest to find this info, at times a summary log of your PC can help, to do this

Install Everest and run
Click Report (top menu) > Report Wizard > Next
Choose System Summary Only > Next
Choose Plain Text > Finish and wait for report to generate
Click Save to File and leave the File Name as Report, then click the Save as Type dropdown and choose Report files (*txt) and click Save (n.b. Save to desktop is best as easy place to find it, use Browse to locate desktop)

Then attach your log to your next post as per these instructions HOW TO: Attach Items To Your Post

Hopefully you are running a version of Windows that Everest works with.

Hello David,
I found this on an ebay site, it seems that special motherboard belongs to the ASUS R350 (only available in Europe). The drivers for this is available here. Can you confirm if this is correct?

Well,
After doing a little more investigation, the link I provided for the drivers may not be the ones needed because there are a multitude of Pundit models. But, if you go to the ASUS download site and in the dropdown box select "Barebone" as a product and Pundit as a series, the last drop down box will list the models available. If you create an everest report as DavidGP suggested, you may be able to backtrack into what drivers you need. Good Luck.

Edit: everything I have seen regarding the P4R8L2 suggests that it belongs to the Pundit series.

Yeah think I'd go with an Everest report TBH, eBay is suspect at times and the hard evidence of the actual hardware in a report works better IMO. Good thought though and one I wouldnt have gone with but could have worked well.
