How do I keep Intel chipset drivers up to date on Vista

[Ryland]

This is for the motherboard in my sig. Nvidia had a nice package which contained all of the chipset drivers and was easy to update but I don't see something similar for Intel.

Gigabyte says my chipset is the P35 which doesn't show up under Desktop Chipsets in that menu so I will download their chipset identification utility and see what that gives me.

I've noticed that for many intel chipsets, as long as the .inf utility is installed, newer, stable versions of the chipset drivers will come through windows update.

Intel P35, X38, etc. fall under the Intel 3 Series Chipsets category.

Ok...well I downloaded the files from Gigabyte and ran the intel infupdate executable but it really doesn't seem to have done anything. Where does it put the .inf files?

The executable should install the drivers that you need (get the automatic exe, not the manual one from Intel).

intel_autol is one of the ones I used which did say it would install the files...

As long as you're not having problems why are you worried about it?
