Inspiron 1501 XP x64 drivers?

Question

Hi, I installed Windows XP x64 on my new Inspiron 1501 and have been looking for compatible drivers this whole week. Finally I only lack 2 drivers that I can't find anywhere so here am I, asking for your help. The drivers I need are for: 1. 'Modem device on high definition audio bus' or Conexant HDA D110 MDC V.92 WinXP Driver V7.38.0 for x64 2. 'Base System Device' which I actually don't know what it is. I suppose there is no version of the modem driver for x64 but there should be another driver that works fine or somebody who made his own driver. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I already have this one installed but still have the yellow question mark in the task manager that says base system device so I guess it is something else.
Also in the processors there is already two AMD Turion that as far as the task manager says work fine.
Anyway I tried to install the driver but it asked me if I wanted to remove the installed programs or something like that, so definitely that wan is already installed.
I also tried manually (windows wizard) installing the drivers but the wizard didn't recognize it.

About the modem I tried the 32 bit version and the installation process looks to go fine until the end when it says failed. I also tried running it with XP compatibility but in this case in the part of the installation process where i have to chose what to install i have an empty list to chose from.

Thanks anyway.

For anybody still looking for this info....   On the Inspiron 1501, the unknown 'Base System Device' is the Ricoh MMC/SD Card Reader.  On the Details tab, I saw the device ID contained 'ven_1180'.  I Googled that string and found that it equated to Ricoh, and the only Ricoh device/driver in the machine is the memory card reader.   Download the Ricoh R5C823 driver from your Drivers & Downloads page.  I don't believe there is a 64bit version of this driver yet.
