because iw ant to find out what the motherboard name is and update it
the only thing i know is that its a packard bell nec imedia

any help apreciated
i used everest, belaric advisor they all say motherboard name unknown

Packard Bell NEC 00000001
System Serial Number: a123456789
Chassis Serial Number: 50424E
Enclosure Type: Desktop

You best bet would be to go to the manufactures website and enter their support. Most all of them allow you to enter your serial number or product code which will be on a sticker on the bottom normally, and they should have the drivers which will allow you to find out who makes the motherboard. You can then choose to use their most up to date driver or go to the actual manufacture of your motherboard and check for updates there! Hope this helps some…sorry I couldn’t just tell you the name and give you a link to the most recent driver for it!

ok, i have just installed windows vista on my laptop (my other laptop) its the same vista that was already on it, i was rebooting it to get rid of all my data and viruses….it started up and installed without complaint and i knew there would be some drivers for me to install, which is not a problem for a P.C tech head like me lol. but what i don’t understand is that my wireless does not show any networks and when i ask it why it brings up a little box saying something about hardware and drivers BLAH! so i thought i needed a driver for the wireless hardware (which is inter grated I THINK) i have never opened the la top. anyway i opened the manager and what did i find? Absolutely nothing about the wireless…its as if the computer refuses to belive i have wireless :S i have the details here from a program called everest:

I have tried ALL availible drivers, plus dragging my own driver from a near exact same laptop that uses the same wireless thing.

ANY help would be glady appreasiated and of course the most helpfull will get the points for best answer
Thx in advance
TIve checked the button on the front, the light is on, indicating its turned on, but the machine will not recognise it, it worked perfectly before, re installed windows, nothing to show the installation was bad.
The wireless card was installed with the laptop, all stock parts here:D Ive checked the button on the front, the light is on, indicating its turned on, but the machine will not recognise it, it worked perfectly before, re installed windows, nothing to show the installation was bad. what could cause this?

By looking at the network adapters list there is no wireless listed at all…. Is the RADIO CARD turned on?

Toshiba and other laptops do have a switch to enable and disable the radio cards, if that is off, you won’t even see the card in the Device Manager. You don’t so that is my "best guess"
Once the card shows up in the device manager, THEN you can add the driver! Until that card shows in the device manager, your operating system can’t add it!

Here are some that have been suggested:

GeForce 9800 GT 512MB
Radeon 4670 (fast) or GeForce 9600GT
NVidia 8800 GT

I found this: VisionTek Radeon HD 3450 512MB DDR2 PCI-E 2.0 64-bit DirectX 10.1 Video Card – 900231 for $65 and it seems to have comparable specs to the bigger boyz. Is this junk? Bad repuation?
I’m not looking for the best card ever, just a good card that is an upgrade then what I currently have installed.

According to Tom’s Hardware for the month of Dec ’08

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-geforce-graphics,2086-2.html

Best card for $60 would be the 4650.

The 3450 isn’t that great you can check out this chart here (only lists the mobile but the desktop isn’t much better)

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-geforce-graphics,2086-7.html

But to get the best performance but still cheap I’d go with the 9600GT or 3870 they’ve listed at $95.

I need someone to tell me what kinda of graphics card I need and the best kind I can get.I have everest I will post what my computer is made up of.EVEREST Home Edition © 2003-2005 Lavalys, Inc.

your motherboard is has a AGP port so any of these cards will work fine.
