| 1109908 | 2010-06-16 23:03:00 | For NICs, how do we find the model name? In device manager all i an see is "Realtek PCIE GBE family controller". Will updating motherboard drivers also update the NIC? |

| 1109909 | 2010-06-16 23:06:00 | you need to know the motherboard model and download it - assuming the NIC is on that. there might be some software that can detect your motherboard like - CPU-Z if you rather not open the computer case. if you look for your motherboard it will have many diff drivers incl one for your NIC. |

| 1109912 | 2010-06-17 15:17:00 | How do i tell which revision my motherboard is without taking it out of the case? Specy just tells me the motherboard model(which i already knew) and cpu-z says chipset revision 2A, but that doesnt mean much(revisiosn are listed as 1.0, 2.0 and 2.1 on the website). |

| 1109913 | 2010-06-18 00:23:00 | Your chipset most likely is revision 2A. But chipset and board revision are two completely different things. Sometimes the BIOS strings can identify the board revision IF different BIOS are used for different revisions, but most of the time you just have to open the PC up and look at the board (you won't need to take the board out of the case though) Why are you trying to find the board revision? |

| 1109914 | 2010-06-18 05:57:00 | All you need is the motherboard brand and model then you can download the latest drivers for your NIC. | Nomad (952) | ||
| 1109915 | 2010-06-18 06:07:00 | You don't need even that. The fact that the Network card is PCI-E, is Gigabit capable and is made by Realtek For NICs, how do we find the model name? In device manager all i an see is "Realtek PCIE GBE family controller". Narrows it down to a single unified driver package which is available from Realtek, at the link I already posted.

| 1109916 | 2010-06-19 02:54:00 | According to the gigabyte website there are motherboard drivers available for revision 1.0, 2.0 and 2.1. None of the win7 download links seem to wrok. All they do is open a popup that re-directs to www.realtek.com/downloads. |
