I have a DELL 720 on order )Q6600) with 2G of 800Mhz DDR2 RAM (vista)

Hello!
I got a great deal on an openbox PC Card, until i tried to install it.
I downloaded the drivers, but need the setup/utility software for it. I looked on the MS site and they dont have it for download- am I $crewed?
Does anyone know where i can get it?
I cant believe its something...

I need to build a system for my kids and I need to do it before XMAS morning!
I have a monitor and an old cdrw drive. I also just bought an Antec SLK-1600 w/300 Watt PS from SVC for 19.99...

I dont know much about the Duron, but it appears to have all the basic components for a decent low-end system-
Please feel free to poke holes in it...
