Re: cant find drivers

 

You need to contact HP about drivers for their hardware. If they don't

provide 64bit XP drivers, you'll likely have to run 32-bit XP, or go back to

Vista. Drivers are the responsibility of the OEM.

Re: cant find drivers

 

Your machine has the nVidia chipset and if HP doesn't provide 64bit drivers,

there's a fat chance you can use something else - they do exist. As for the

nVidia Firewall (Network Controller!) you usually have to install it and

then specifically un-install it (after re-booting) to have your i-net

connection see things in the Cyber Universe.

Re: cant find drivers

 

Tony:

I checked NVidia's site and they don't seem to have drivers for the

NForce430 chipset with integrated graphics (6150)

That's the chipset that the OP's PC has according to:

http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=346118

NVidia has drivers for the NForce430 chipset without the 6150 graphic card

for XP x64 here:

http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_nf4_winxp64_8.26_11.09.html

He might try those under his own risk or, at least, do a selective

installation of the missing (unknown) devices.

Re: cant find drivers

 

I admit, Carlos. HP probably fitted this with their own BIOS version, that

could be of consequence? I am also forgetting about all these numbers -

isn't that simply the generic NF4 chipset? That should work, I believe.

 

Again, this is one of the major reasons why I stopped buying Brand-Name

stuff - I want to know what's inside and I want the oportunity to exchange

any of it in the manner I see fit. HP are producing very high quality in my

mind, I trust them almost completely, but if something breaks, I have to

have them repair it for me. I won't know who build the motherboard and IF I

manage to fit something inside, it won't have a compatible BIOS.

 

It is true, though: experiment is called for, and no success guaranteed.

 

I'm having second thoughts. Perhaps it isn't even a very good idea?

Re: cant find drivers

 

Tony:

From my experience I have found that many times the different NF4's have the

same driver from NVidia, though in different packages.

I think it is worth a try, though it is up (your second thoughts) to the

OP's adrenaline and not ours. :)

I also agree with you with the do-it-yourself approach in my home PC.

It is a pleasure to select what you stick into it by a careful selection of

hardware and driver availability.

The same pleasure women feel when they go shopping!

Re: cant find drivers

 

You may have something there, Carlos - I've never thought of it in those

terms. I have suspected for a long time that the shopping activity women

display, was something considerably more than just 'shopping'. Carefully

picking the best from an abundant selection. Typical definition of

'Foraging', I would say.
