Where do I download the latest and greatest motherboard chipset drivers?

[TriggerHappy101]

I am running a Abit IP35 Pro. I was wondering which chipset driver i should use. Abits website has an older one for about 4 months ago.

I can't find the chipset driver on intels website (sorry this is my first intel board!)

Little help please? I feel like a new. This is my first intel build - im to used to Nvidia's chipset/website.

My OS is Vista 64 bit edition (business)

Well, the motherboard manufacturers don't always keep them up to date. Intel has them on their site: here

Mobo makes almost never keep up to date software on their download pages. 🙁

Yeah, I saw that before posting but was sorta confused. I see now I believe:

If I have Vista Business 64 bit edition I want to d-load this??
INF Update Utility - Zip Format (2023KB)
http://downloadcenter.intel.co...trOSs=160&submit=Go%21

Also: For my Video drivers what should I use under Vista 64 bit?

Beta drivers? (Which I can't find btw.)

Or these?
http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x64_163.69.html

What about Microsoft Windows Vista Hotfixes?? Should I install it?

Help would be appreciated.

Nvidia 163.69 are the newest beta drivers, you should use those. You should install the Intel INF Update Utility autoupdate, not zip, "infinst_autol.exe" from here.

EDIT: Install the hotfixes too, you may have gotten them from Windows update already though.

The link you linked to says "Primarily for Intel® 3, 900 Series Chipsets"

I dont have a 900 chipset?

You have an Intel 3 series. It's the same drivers as the zip format, but it has an installer.
