Need a ethernet controller & pci simple communications controller

Hmmm, since Abit went out of business March 2009, and the website shut down February 28, 2012, let's go to Intel Support for the Intel 945GC chipset drivers,

http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect/

Check your system for the latest updates

When finished if Not asked to restart your computer, do so.

Chip and Chipset are slang terms for I.C.
Integrated Circuit,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Circuit

The motherboard chipset for your motherboard type, is a Northbridge chip, and Southbridge chip.

(Does not apply to motherboard that support Intel Core i3, i5, i7, or i9 )

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Motherboard_diagram.svg&page=1

CPU = Central Processing Unit. Another term used is Microprocessor, or simply Processor for short.

The Northbridge chip handles the Faster capabilities of a computer.
Processor, Ram Memory, and HIGH-speed graphics.

AGP and PCI-Express are High-speed graphics.
A graphics card inserted into a PCI slot is Not high-speed graphics.
Integrated graphics is Not high-speed graphics.

The Southbridge chip handles the Slower capabilities of a computer.
Anything connected to the;
1) PCI bus
2) IDE bus
3) SATA bus
4) USB bus
5) Ethernet bus
6) Audio (Sound)

REMEMBER!
Drivers and software are installed F-I-R-S-T, then the All-In-One's USB cable is plugged into the computer, and turned on.

Plugging the USB cable into the computer, and turning the printer on BEFORE installing the software/drivers, will result in a driver conflict.

I don't see any VGA drivers listed for any of the Windows 7 versions,

Guess they felt the drivers in the O/S (Win7) would support the Intel 945GC chipset, and it's Integrated Graphics. (Intel GMA 950)

Intel 945GC chipset info,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_intel_chipsets#Core_2_chipsets

IMHO the next course of action to take, would be to buy an economical PCI Express graphics card, and install it in the
PCI Express x16 expansion slot, on the motherboard.

It will have drivers for Win7.

[Driver: A small piece of software that allows the Operating System to communicate with a device.

Win7 is the O/S, and graphics chipset is the device ]

Something as economical as this example, will work,

[NOTE*
The Intel 945GC came out in the first quarter of 2007.
According to what I read, the launch date was the first quarter of 2005.

Don't know what transpired in the meantime. Maybe Intel didn't release it until it had PCI Express 2.0 support.

At any rate..........

PCI Express is a technology.

The first release under the PCI Express name, was the
PCI Express 1.0 version.
Year? 2004.

Next upgrade version was PCI Express 1.1
The version after that was PCI Express 2.0
Year? 2007 (January 15, 2007)

I don't know if the 945GC chipset on your motherboard, uses the
PCI Express 1.1 version, or the PCI Express 2.0 version.

The graphics card is based on the PCI Express 2.0 version.

Does it matter? NO
Why?
Because PCI Express 2.0 is Backward Compatible, with
PCI Express 1.1

In otherwords the PCI Express 2.0 graphics card WILL work, on a motherboard based on the PCI Express 1.1 technology.

Will you get the full capabilities of the PCI Express 2.0 graphics card?
NO

Will you notice?
NO

PCI Express 1.1 technology has a PER lane data rate of 250MegaBytes per Second. (250MB/s)
A transfer rate of 2.5GigaTransfer/s per Second. (250GT/s)

PCI Express 2.0 technology has a per lane data rate of 500MB/s.
A transfer rate of 5.0GT/s ]

For additional questions please post in a Comment.

that would be the Intel Management Engine Interface

You should install the drivers from this link:

http://support.gateway.com/us/en/emac/product/default.aspx?tab=1&modelId=3333

Install the chipset driver first, the you install LAN driver and the appropriate Wireless LAN driver. You would probably find which wireless card you have by looking under your computer, there should be a sticker.

Hi, yes you need the right driver, do a google search for the driver, there are many sights where it will be free.

you will need to rinstall its drivers, insert your motherboard CD and reinstall the network adapter. then reboot

You have Atheros L2 - 10/100 Controller. Open Device Manager from Control Panel-> System -> Hardware -Device Manager.

Under unknown devices see if u can find Ethernet Controller. If found right click on it and select update driver, specify the location of your driver cd. Hopefully windows will be able to install the driver. If not then please let us know

Drivers are here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/prodTopCategory?product=96027&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=
Just click evo d510 cmt, then download drivers and software.

You should now be at a page that lists all of hp's drivers for your system.

I think PCI simple Communication Controller would be your modem, which I saw on that page, and also the driver for your ethernet controller.

THank for programs
