I have the drivers for this system. If you are still looking for them tell me and I will upload them to my site for you and give you the link.

Hello 

 

 Just brought one of these Area 51m 766's , as mentioned above , back from the dead , typing on it as I speak . 

 

 Basically There's no complete driver package or soft-ware anywhere for this , can someone help? I installed Windows 7 x86 , though have only managed to install sound and video drivers this far, would Ideally like the chip-set drivers as-well

 

Runs pretty quick for an old laptop though 

Have you tried reviewing the devices manager lsit and going straight to devices manufacturers for drivers?

cheers ...
