Product: Compaq Presario 8144EA
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP

Hi all, i know that this is an awfully old and retired product, but i want to build a retro rig and **bleep** is it hard to find drivers for this desktop, does anyone have them cached anywhere? it's seems impossible to find.
the only thing that catched my interest was two websites.

1: An Amazon seller selling a CD with all drivers pretty cheap, (yeah it's an option but still, i'll probably end up buying it)
2: A russian site with all the drivers, although this one seemed good at first, in the end the drivers couldn't detect my hardware, not finding the network card etc..

I'm just wondering is there anyone on here that has the drivers for this product i mean it can't be all lost to history? they gotta be here somewhere...
dammit i really want to use this PC. anyhelp regarding drivers especially for the network card is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
