Chipset driver - OS specific

[Alan T]

Is the chipset driver attach to OS or the motherboard?

There are chipset driver for XP and Vista download from motherboard vendor
website, if I have dual boot XP with Vista, then should I install driver for
XP inside XP and driver for Vista inside Vista?

Alan;
You will need both drivers.
As you suggested, install the Windows XP driver from within XP and the
Vista driver within Windows Vista.

Hi,

Definitely yes. Chipset drivers usually are for specific motherboards and
for specific OS. If your motherboard vendor offer drivers for chipset
separately for those systems you should use as you wrote "XP inside XP and
driver for Vista inside Vista"

So the chipset driver is not installed into the BIOS ROM, it is installed
into the OS (harddisk) ?
