System board in XP
In the device manager under system board shouldn't it say asus a8v or somthing to that effect. It says that no drivers are installed or may not be needed. There are also a few other system devices that try to install but it doesn't find drivers for them and i don't even know what device it is because it is just called "system device".
I don't think I am having any problems but I just want to make sure everything is the way it needs to be for opt performance.

Well the thing is....Is having a "driver" for the mother board more helpful in making sure that all is good or just wait till I have a problem and look for the long nerdy answer.
This all stems from ASUS update telling me no asus mobo found

Ahhhh thats the fun part.
The Asus drivers under the driver section for my board are only for the Reltek audio drivers. But none for the board itself.
Even on the cd that came with it there is nothing go figure.
So I suppose I am to guess that just the Asus update program is faulty.
Just in asking does your board show up in the device manager under system board?

Hello Bluemonster71,
I disagree with leaving it alone. Your system performance might not be noticeable but you haven't compared it with the correct drivers yet. Did your system come with a system disk?
If not, go to this ASUS site for your A8V driver downloads:
http://support.asus.com/download/dow...Language=en-us
Insert "A8V" (without the quotation marks) in the "Download" field. Choose "A8V" for mainboard. Choose the "Drivers" tab.
Download the Ethernet (Marvel) Drivers = Marvell Yukon Gigabit Ethernet Driver V7.14.1.3. for 32Bit Windows.
or
Marvell Yukon Gigabit Ethernet Driver V7.31.1.3 for Windows 64bit XP/2003 for 64Bit Windows.
Download the USB 2.0 Drivers = VIA USB 2.0 Host Controller Drivers V2.57 for Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP
Download the Via 4 in 1 Driver set = VIA 4 in 1 driver Package Service v4.51
Download the "Cool n Quiet" Driver (if you have an Athlon64, not if you have a Sempron) = AMD Cool''''''''n''''''''Quiet Driver package revision 1.1.0.0 for Windows XP.
Expand each program as they are "zipped or archived" into a folder and run the setup utilty.
hth,

Like i said, if its not broke, dont fix it.

The only driver I am not using is the cool and quiet driver because everything I have read about OCing was to have it disabled so why install it.
The cd that came with my mobo has only the 4 in one drivers and a raid driver because I switched to xp 64 so the 32 stuff doesn't show.
I just find it weird that my old A7n8xe deluxe had a main board driver and showed up in windows.

That is the 4 in 1 drivers Bluemonster. They will install the system board drivers for you.

Well, youre using 64 bit, that explains everything.
Yes, you need to install the 64 bit versions.
Download the 4 - in 1 drivers here:

Actually no, its not the same difference, you cant mix 32 bit drivers with 64 bit OS's you need the proper drivers for the proper system.

Ok ok I'll do it any way even tho they say right in the discription for o/s that
win xp 64 is supported.
Mabey I'm wrong but I'll give it a shot.

Yep,
Same ones I had already installed.
But anywho chipset drivers doesn't pertain to my original question.
Also the same thing appeared with xp32 so this just must be the way it is.

Windows 64bit has driver issue's, alot of motherboards & componets don't fully support the 64bit os. and mixing the drivers from both will cause conflits of its own.

I'll just let it be for now. I don't see any major issues yet.
Thanks for opinions guys
