Don't really know much about updating drivers so I was wondering if anyone can help me. These are my specs...

AMD Athlon XP 1800+
Windows XP Home
NVIDIA GeForce 4 MX 440 (Driver Version 2.7.2.0)
512 MB DDRAM

I just need someone to guide me to what I should download to update these. If there's any other info I should've added, let me know.

Thanks

Do Not use the windows update drivers for the video card, for that matter do not use windows update for any kind of drivers update. Use the manufacturers driver updates, after all they built the dang thing, not microsoft.

The only reason I would use Windows update to update a driver is if there wasn't one available anywhere else.

my opinion

Not sure what chipset it is. If anyone knows, let me know and if I have to update it.

(This is taken from the booklet)

Socket A Mainboard K7S5A using SiS 735 chipset.

If anyone knows, post...

It's the SiS 735 chipset. I went to some sites to find an update but couldn't. Is there an update for this or not. If so, where can I find it.
