Drivers on Dell Optiplex GX270
Hi, I've just done a hard disk upgarde on a friend's Optiplex GX 270 and internet doesn't work and output resolution is stuck at 640x480.
I'm guessing I need this driver for the integrated graphics (so I can get the resolution off 640x480):
and this driver for the ethernet socket to work:
Am I right or do I need different drivers?
Many thanks,
Froskoy

The network/ethernet driver is certainly the right one, but it's impossible to say whether that's the right graphics driver, without knowing which specific graphics chip is on his particular motherboard?
It's obviously important to make sure you choose the right driver, else it could mess up the system :emotion-55:

You should be installing the chipset driver before the other drivers. Did you do that? Chipset driver:

Answering 4 year old posts, would seem to be an exercise in futility, so I have locked this thread.
