I believe the network card and the sound card are both integrated with the motherboard in this case...

...research I've done has shown oddities between ATI graphic cards and my particular motherboard but mostly reported in conjuction with Radeon 9700...

Anyways, I went to download some updated drivers, but the ASUS site lists a bunch of different ones for different components, i.e., ide, sound, network, and so on.

I downloaded the one for sound (although I suspect is more outdated than the one I grab previously from the actual chipset manufacturer of the sound card) and one for the network card. I need to review which files it contains just be to be sure it is actually a more update driver...actually right now I think default WinXP drivers are being used...?
