This is probably the dumbest question posted yet. I just built my first machine and I want to update my drivers for my motherboard. I went to Nvidia's website and there are quite a few options. I am not certain which ones are for this board. Can someone please give me some guidance? Thanks!

MOBO: ASUS A8N-SLI DELUXE
CPU: AMD ATHALON 64 3800+
MEMORY: PQI TURBO 1GB DDR 400 (2-3-2-5)
VIDEO CARD: PNY GEFORCE 7900GT
HARD DRIVE: WD CAVIAR 120GB 7200RPM SATA
SOUND CARD: X-FI XTREME MUSIC
OS: WINDOWS XP SP 2
POWER SUPPLY: 500W

I assume you are using socket 939.

... in other words: when updating your BIOS, it is best to fetch the latest stable version from the motherboard producer's website (in this case, Asus'). In the "downloads" section of your motherboard on the Asus website there are also instructions as of how to update your BIOS (or follow the instructions in your motherboard's manual).
