    I'm trying to find a manufactures link for an ASUS P5G41T-M LX2/GB/SI motherboard but can't find it anywhere on the ASUS site.

    The nearest I can find is for the P5G41T-M LX2/GB

    I can find loads of sites selling the board but no reference to it on the ASUS site?

    It's part of an eBuyer Extra Value PC on offer and I want to make sure I have access to all the relevant drivers for both XP & 7

    Anyone able to point me to it on the ASUS site?

    It is a socket 775 cuppa but the point I'm trying to make is that it does not appear in any of options in the drop down lists.

    Even if it were no longer being manufactured you'd expect it to be on their site for drivers downloads?

    For Asus boards "SI" just means System Integrator so simply means that it is basically an OEM version on the board. The 'P5G41T-M LX2/GB' is the standalone retail version of the board.

    If the drivers are not provided for you then the audio, chipset, lan drivers etc for the retail version will certainly work. I would be ever so slightly more wary about the actual bios itself though, it is possible that an altered version may have been provided for the OEM. If you wanted to update that, I would enquire on the Asus support forums first to be absolutely sure of compatibility. (It would probably be ok but you can't be too careful about bios flashing, if it goes wrong you can end up with a very expensive paperweight :p)
