    Hi, i recently installed WinXP on my Acer 5930G (went from vista). i managed to find all the drivers (including the ICH9M SATA ACHI-mode driver) except one called the SM Bus Controller which is showing up in device manager with a little yellow ! symbol. Does anyone know where I can find this driver? the Intel website and their chipset identifier tool seems to be quite useless. The chipset identifier can't identify anything except the I/O controller (82801MB ICH9M SATA AHCI-mode) which was installed from the '32-bit floppy configuration files'

    5930G Specs:
    C2D P7350
    3GB RAM
    Geforce 9600M GT
    Intel 965 Express (i think)

    does anyone know which SM Bus Controller driver i need for XP?
