Chipset drivers with XP SP2?

[Nigel M]

Does SP2 know about recent motherboard chipsets? Do I need to load
chipset drivers (specifically Intel 875P & ICH5R) when doing a clean
install with XP SP2?

If you perform a "clean install" of Windows XP
using a "slipstreamed" version with SP2, the
Intel chipset drivers will be installed.

Either one of the following utilities makes slipstreaming
(integrating) SP2 into Windows XP a breeze:

Hi

If anything to do with Prescott, have a look here:

A 'Clean' install won't hack it!!

Well it will if the Microcoding is correct in the BIOS but since you can't
use the Intel Chipset Frequency ID Utility without an operating system, it
could be a bit difficult!
