Alright just upgraded my system to a Gigabyte GA-7IXE MOBO with Athlon 700 Mhz. I have a crappy 3D Blaster Pro vid card with a Voodoo 2. Everytime I reformat windows finds the device PCI Bridge and I cannot find it to save my life. Also, I cannot play any games with my Voodoo2 card. Any ideas where I can find these drivers from? Thanks in advance.
Does the board use a VIA chipset? If so install the VIA 4-1 drivers and that might fix it.
Do you have a URL which I can d/l this driver? Thanks for your help
The driver is on the CD that came with your Motherboard.
As far as I can remember this board uses an AMD chipset. The motherboard cd should autorun when you put in. Just install all the amd drivers

Well don't I feel stupid now. I never inserted the CD since all I thought it had on it was some shareware proggies. I got it to work, but now all my games crash. Guess I'll be looking for all the updated drivers. Thanks for all your help
What version of the 4-1 driver came with your motherboard? the most up to date one is 4.24. You can dl that here

For the Voodoo card, here is the link to get to the drivers for the Voodoo 2, just select card/0S

Good Luck!
Like Paul posted the GA7-1XE uses the AMD 750 chipset not the VIA, so the 4-in-1 won't make a difference. Try downloading the patches for the chipset from AMD's website. I had a customers system with the same board in today with a prob with the USB controller. Installed the latest patches & Voila!

Well after I d/led the latest patch, my system completely froze on me and when I went to reboot it stated that my partition is messed up; and had to reformat. For some reason it only messes up with the 3DFX patch, but with any other upgrade I get, it doesn't seem to work. It might be time to purchase a new vid card. Thanks all for all your help. Greatly appreciated
