I don't have integrated audio, video, or ethernet. Are these drivers what I need. It says on the website that they are for integrated only. What's up?

Only need those drivers if the aforementioned devices are built-in to your mobo. If, as you suggest, yours are just add-in AGP/PCI/ISA cards then you want to use the drivers that came on CD/disc with them (failing that download the newest ones from the card manufacturers site or let Windows look for a driver (not always the best route)). The 4in1 drivers are de facto for VIA chipset mobos and as such if you have one you SHOULD install the latest version. I think the latest is 4in1 v4.32. These control some of the features present on VIA chipset mobos and, as I said above, do NOT replace your network card, graphics card, sound card drivers. Hope that helps.

okay, I downloaded them, now what program do I use to open the file so I can install it. It's giving me the box and telling me to choose which program I want to use.

WinZip? I thought they were self-extracting though. Maybe your download got corrupted. Check the file extension (.XXX).

HEY, dont install them until you tell us what motherboard you have. Some motherboards need them some only need 2 of the 4. So let us know.

I have seen a few other people say this, and I did some benchmarks a while back and the ms drivers were faster, but I don't remember exact numbers.
