need XP drivers for new Inspiron 531
Just bought an Inspiron 531 that came loaded with Vista. I did a clean install of my own copy of XP but now I need drivers for the SM Bus Controller, a PCI bridge device (the network controller?) and another unidentified PCI device. None of these are listed at the driver page for this computer and XP. The chipset is listed as an Nvidia® MCP 61. I don't know if I need updated drivers for that either. Can anyone steer me in the right direction? Thanks for any help you can offer.
Driver list is here: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&impid=-1&vercnt=1&osl=en&SystemID=INSP_DSKTP_D531&catid=-1&deviceid=14246&releaseid=R159026&servicetag=&os=WW1&formatcnt=1&libid=1

Nvidia MCP 61 chipset is what is used in the Inspiron 531
Known drivers that work for the 531 and most likely the 531s, install the in the following order for best results.
1. Chipset, 2. Video, 3. Sound, 4. Modem, 5. AMDlive patch
As some of these nvidia links may become broken, you can get a complete nVidia driver pack here
