(http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_list.php?part=1&...
nd=1&CHIP=1&COM=&Page=2&num=0):

---->	nForce 550/570/570/590 SLI (C51+MCP55) driver package 9.16 WHQL
consists of the following components:

. Ethernet Driver MCP55 (v60.15) "WHQL"
    . Network Management Tools MCP55 (v55.23)
    . SMBus Driver (v4.52) "WHQL"
    . Installer (v5.05)
    . WinXP IDE SataRAID Driver (v6.66) "WHQL"
    . WinXP IDE SataIDE Driver (v6.66) "WHQL"
    . WinXP RAIDTOOL Application (v6.63)

This WinXP 64-bit nForce (MCP55) 9.16 driver package consists of the
following components:

. Ethernet Driver MCP55 (v60.15) "WHQL"
    . Network Management Tools MCP55 (v55.23)
    . SMBus Driver (v4.52) "WHQL"
    . Installer (v5.05)
    . WinXP IDE SataRAID Driver (v6.66) "WHQL"
    . WinXP IDE SataIDE Driver (v6.66) "WHQL"
    . WinXP RAIDTOOL Application (v6.63)

So I think it's C51+MCP55, but maybe a true "hardware" guy could confirm ;)
