Default Motherboard recomendations, solutions or ideas

I bought a bare bones recently and neglected to see if there were
windows ME drivers with it. I just got a new mobo a year ago for my
system and encountered no problems.

I did find some ATI drives to try . . but want to have a "plan B" in
case this doesn't work out. The computer is for my wife, we only see
each other twice a month, so I want to get it solved quickly in case
these drivers I found won't work.

MOBO: ECS RC410-M LGA775 DDR2 PCIe x16 SATA HP
MOBO Chipset: ATI RC410 and ATI IXP450 (onboard video, sound, usb,
lan, etc.)
Made for HP with their PN 51885464 (nothing but W2K and XP Vista
drivers on the HP sites)
CPU: Intel Celeron D 347 3.06Ghz LGA775 533
Memory: 512mb Pc2 5300 667mhz Ddr-2 Dual Channel

I did get it up and running slightly with really poor graphics and
windows insisting on trying to load a fire wire driver then bombing
each time it did. I didn't have the heart to try loading the drivers
I found because I'm not sure I could reverse the process if they don't
work out, and it would leave her without a 'puter for two weeks.

This week I have the beast here with me so will try to put it in my
case and load ME and configure it with a spare drive I have laying
around.

Any recommendations or sites that might help me get up to speed on
this would be appreciated or failing all that, a recommendation of a
suitable motherboard that uses the same processor and memory. (and
she needs an IDE/ATA connector or two)
