You mean this?

Microsoft iSCSI-initiator
NVIDIA nForce 430/410 Serial ATA Controller (2x)
That's not it but if you got that from 'system information', look in components and then display, it should tell you your adapter
If you've got a seperate graphics card or just and on-board chip, once you've found out just select it from here - http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx
Although if you say the connector is horizonal and you have a graphics card, find out what model..afaik you can use ati cards on an nforce mobo chipset, so you'll obv need to go to the ati site for them. Although I'm sure windows update gets graphics drivers for you these days?

Thanks dude.

But now.. I installed it, but my fps doesn't increase. Do I have to do something else after installation so it works or this is it?

thx

Double check that you have actually enabled the correct driver. You can do so by right clicking on the "My Computer" icon, open the device manager, and click on the entry that represents your graphics card. Clicking on that will open a window that has a tab at the top, driver details. Click on that to see what driver you are currently using.

Okay I did that, but I'm still using my old driver, not the new one I downloaded.

I see an option where you can select the new driver, but the problem now is: where and how can I activate the new driver? Because I don't think the driver is just one icon? And where is it located (I installed it at the regular place).

Sorry I'm dumb with this, this is my last question. ;p

The driver install will be one icon it'll come as one file..
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/w ... ng=English 'option one' should be what you've download if you're on 32bit vista
windows should use this driver after you've installed and done a restart
after open catayst control center & take a look at the settings

Oh, I chose option 2 because comp said that was the right one.

But, I downloaded it, installed it, restarted the pc, then it should work? Because it isn't activated yet and I don't know how to, lol.

I never claimed to be the authority! From the information given, I made a best guess, I should have identified better if he had an integrated or non-integrated card. Glad joda.bot got you going!
