    Hi All,
    I was following one of the guides on what to install after a fresh install from the alien ware disc, and I'm stuck with one item in my Device Manager that is unknown.

    Location: PCI Bus
    hardware ID: ACPI\SMO8800

    Does anyone know what this is so I can install the driver for it?

    Thanks a ton in advance!
    -Chris
