As with the video drivers, Intel, AMD/ATI, and Nvidia are the common chipset manufacturers for the aughts. If you have a bunch of unknown devices called "PCI Device," you're probably missing some chipset drivers. Make sure your chipset drivers are installed to ensure Windows is managing your chipset properly as otherwise, you could have serial port and USB issues.
