What Intel ICH version does Asus P8Z68-V PRO Gen3 use?

[Axonn]

We're talking about the Sandy Bridge platform, Cougar Point, Series 6 chipsets.

From what I've dug-around, it's ICH 10 R, but in the Intel RST driver package, I also see ICH 10 D/DO, which confuses me. I also see some "7 Series" which I suppose is Ivy Bridge, because this driver is newer than my comp.

Thank you!

ICH10 was used before nehalem when intel had both a south bridge and north bridge on the motherboard. Now all you need are these:

Thanks for answering, but I already have the chipset drivers and I already have the AHCI drivers as well.

I am trying to create a Windows XP installation ready & customized for my system. I run Windows 7 but I also need an XP partition for some legacy purposes.

The correct answer is: NEITHER. I used nLite and I slipstreamed in the installation THIS DRIVER:

Intel(R) Desktop/Workstation/Server Express Chipset SATA AHCI Controller
