    Default SOLVED!!! Which Drivers Needed?

    OK, just got my 2nd hand 2133 in the mail and XP SP3 was on it. I know if I find vista slow I'll do my own fresh install of XP but I've put vista ultimate on it just to experience it myself.

    So anyhow, my Q...

    Vista seemed to pick up lots of stuff from install. The bluetooth module works, so does sound and even though it didn't show the s3 graphics it did allow 1280x768 which, with the vista desktop and sidebar, looks great.

    So which drivers must I install? The audio works fine and adjusts up/down via keyboard so I'm reluctant to install the drivers. What do the official ADI SoundMAX drivers do better?

    What does this driver do? Broadcom 57xx LOM Driver

    Which of the webcam drivers do I use and in what order?

    If I am running Vista Ultimate SP1, do I still need this? Essential System Updates for Microsoft Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1)

    Thanks peeps...

    OK, after getting vista up and running as I would have it day to day I was suitably impressed. What a nice nice sweet machine...

    I loaded codec pack and media player classic and started to play a standard 700meg 90min movie... Chug chug chug...

    Out came the XP CD...

    Hi. It's been so long since I used XP now (on Vista for ages) that I've forgotten a few things...

    So, if you can help? ...

    What codec pack (if any) are you using with your 2133 "XP edition"?

    (I've been using "Vista Codec Pack" with Vista, but something in the title (hint: first word) suggests it wasn't designed for XP.)

    I'd appreciate your thoughts.
