You may need to paste the long link into your browser.

IN addition to the audio drivers, here's what else you may need to end up with a
completely functioning system under Windows 2000. This info is from the Product
Specifications page for the 6470Z.

Intel 440ZX motherboard chipset (drivers available from the Intel web site.
Same ones as Intel's BI440ZX. Install these first, before any other drivers.)

ATI Rage Pro graphics (drivers from the ATI web site)

You probably want to add memory if you have not already done so. Windows 2000
needs more memory than the original 96MB to run comfortably... Ben Myers
