I've recently aquired a pc with a Lan Party nf4 series motherboard (i'm not sure excactly which). The hardrive has been formatted an a fresh windows xp installation has been done. Unfortunatly some of the drivers have been lost such as the ethernet controller, RAID controller, etc. I dont have the driver disk that came with the motherboard. I have tried to find the drivers that i need on the net but this is difficult because i'm new to all of this and i'm not sure what i'm looking for. PLEASE HELP!:confused::confused::confused::twitch::banghe ad:

:respect: Almost exactly the same, except instead of an "NF4" lable it says "SLI MULTI GPU", and the red green and blue sockets at the top right arent there.
