downloading
several drivers from driverguide.com  specific to the silicon motion lynx display
adapter which Belarc says is in my computer


Hi,

(1) SiS 5600 board..... as far as i can see this refers to "silicon integrated systems " chipset which is present in your motherboard which in turn could be a very different manufacturer. pl see the following link

(2)<<<specific to the silicon motion lynx display adapter which Belarc says is in my computer>>> hereagain i wish you had mentioned the name/model/manufacturer of your motherboard.

(3)in any case the following link has an online identyfying tool and i think it will be worthwhile to try this and proceed further.
