Hey guys. I'm not very good at deciphering drivers, and I don't want to jump straight to any installations before I confirm that it makes sense

If anyone can confirm this it would be much appreciated!

I'm using iAktos (don't know what version - I think the first i1.0?)

Mobo: M2N-E

The exact specifications from the mobo manual for the drivers I need:

LAN: NVIDIA nForce 500 SLI™ MCP built-in Gigabit MAC with external Attansic PHY. Supports TCP/IP acceleration.
Audio: C-Media Superior QUality Audio 7.1 channel audio CODEC (Vista ready) Supports S/PDIF Out Interface.

I'm looking at the drivers here to find out which makes most sense: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/3rdPartyDrivers

"C-Media 8738" is the closest one to mine but not exactly so I'm not sure I want to try it... I guess I have no other choice though right?
"nForce3/4 LAN" is the closest I suppose for my LAN, or is it the Attansic one?

Should I try these? Are they safe? Any suggestions? Are there any better ones?

Any help at all is appreciated!! I'm really new to this tongue.gif

Thanks!

Update: Neither work, though I'm not sure if I installed the audio one correctly... Why is it that when in the post-installation (the "welcome" animation part) the sound works but it doesn't work in the actual O/S?

Update: I installed an old and dusty PCI-Lan card and it works but there's still the problem with my sound...

Anybody know of any drivers for CM6501 ?

And still the other question: why does sound work in the welcome screen but not in the actual O/S?

I'll keep you updated on anything else..
