Well PC World support is just amazing for this, you can get all of your device drivers from this site:

of course you have to pay £25 for them to send you them in cd form and for some reason they don't have them available to download from their site :(

while this post is a few years old I think its still relevent:

as the article states most Advents are made by medion and you might be able to get the drivers from their support site depending on the age of the system (Medion do not officially supply drivers for their Advent machines) but depenidng on the model you may still be able to get drivers from there:

If all else fails this site has the complete listing of all the hardware for the 3217:

if you did a google search for the components that require drivers then you'll probably find almost everything if not everything you need

Drivers you'll probably need:

Motherboard Chipset Drivers: TriGem IT865GE (MS 6743)
Video Card Drivers: nVidia GeForce FX 5200 (128MB)
Sound Drivers: C-Media 9739A AC'97
Network Drivers: Intel 82562EZ
