The south bridge chip on his board is ULI1575 so its function is for AGP, AUDIO, FIR, IDE, IEEE1394, IRQ MINIPORT, LAN, MEMORY STICK, SATA, SD, USB, nvidia makes the chip so it also makes the drivers for that chip, the Ati southbridge chip driver is for Ati SB chip.

We have to wait for Eyeonthewall to let us know how things are going as you and I have not got this board.

I don't even have this board and I'm confused. If it has an ATI south bridge, then what's the ULi doing in there?

Nvidia bought ULi so they would have the drivers for whatever the hell that item is. And I wouldn't put it past ATI to screw up a driver here and there :lol:

Not that they ever do that. Chris.

Chris is doesn't have an Ati southbridge.

The AT8 32X is based on the ATi RD580 chipset also know as the Radeon Xpress 3200. It therefore supports two full 16x PEG slots rather than its RD480 predecessor, which like the nForce 4 SLI, splits a single 16x PEG lane into two 8x PEG lanes when running with dual video cards. As with other enthusiast grade boards, the AT8 32X uses a ULi M1575 Southbridge, sidestepping some of the limitations of ATi’s own Southbridge and bringing SATA II RAID and fast USB 2.0 performance to the platform.

No, 32 bit Windows XP has the South Bridge Driver as well. You just have to click "Individual driver download packages and Avivo™" under Optional Downloads. I installed it with no luck however.

So, are you getting yellow !'s in Device Manager? And do you have SP2 for XP (or SP3) installed? This really makes no sense, the drivers should install, as long as they are the correct ones.

Umm, not to insult, you sure this is the right board?

I've made that small mistake before myself. :oops:

After getting the ULI drivers from Nvidia for the M1575 south bridge, i tried installing them. Came up with an error message:

"This driver can't install un_ULIChipset"

I really have to say thank you. I've checked the board and it turned out to be my other AN8 board. It was a board i replaced with the AT8. However it started malfunctioning and I replaced it back with the AN8 (from what I remember I thought it was the AN8 that malfunctioned). Anyway I'm truly sorry for bothering everyone and I thank all of you for your help.
