Hi
i salvaged this graphics card from a computer at school as the old components were going to be thrown out and i don't have the installation disc so i decided to try online and visited the asus website after trying it, it didn't install so i am having many problems in finding the drivers that actually download and can you guys explain what the yellow exclamation mark means once i just installed the graphics card into the motherboard. I'm trying to make my moms PC better at handling graphics by adding in a graphics card. Its a nine year old PC Packard Bell with 32 bit windows vista and CPU is a Intel E5300 2.68 ghz processor. if you guys acn tell me how to fix this problem i would apreciate that.
Thank you

The main thing to note is you can get the drivers from AMD. You don't need to go specifically to Asus. For videocards, AMD or Nvidia make the cards, companies like Asus then package them and sell them. So AMD and Nvidia actually produce the drivers.

There are situations, such as with a laptop, where it might be better to get the drivers from the company that made the computer. In your case, just get them from AMD. Those are 'legacy' drivers, meaning they don't make new ones for that card anymore. Once you install them then you don't have to worry about updating to new ones.
