Default Drivers for Old Desktop
Soon I may be doing a clean install on an old desktop that my grandparents are giving me(as soon as they get a new one).
Specs:
<<< System Summary >>>

> Manufacturer : Compaq

> Mainboard : Asus Salmon

> Chipset : SiS 760

> Processor : AMD Sempron 3000+ @ 1800 MHz

> Physical Memory : 256 MB (1 x 256 DDR-SDRAM )

> Video Card : SiS 760

> Hard Disk : WDC (80 GB)

> DVD-Rom Drive : LITE-ON COMBO SOHC-4832K

> Monitor Type : COMPAQ COMPAQ FS7600 - 16 inches

> Network Card : Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS) SiS900 10/100 Ethernet Adapter

> Operating System : Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition 5.01.2600 Service Pack 2

> DirectX : Version 9.0c (March 2005)

I will of course be upgrading a few things, but Im at lost to find drivers for it, Its a Compaq, so I searched the website, guess what? I can't find my model, SR1403WM, bought in 05 or 06, can't remember.

What drivers do you need? Just get them from the components websites, their more up to date.

I found this link: http://members.driverguide.com/drive...riverid=675580. It seems to include drivers for audio, modem, video, chipset and network.
