Besides going to Intel, (it's not on their site). Can someone point me in
right direction with this. I have an audio card installed, (works fine), but
the onboard audio would be a back-up should the soundcard ever fail.
Thanks,
Curt.
You no longer have the CD that came with the motherboard that had all
the chipset drivers? Intel really no longer provides a download for the
chipset drivers package for that old motherboard?
I found 4 driver downloads from Intel for that mobo, one which was for
the chipset; however, it appears that is just a set of .inf files that
define the devices on the mobo. INF files merely describe the behavior
or interface of a device to the OS. They don't provide an actual
driver. The driver would be a mini-port driver already included in
Windows that the .inf file describes how to use. So the drivers are
already expected to be included in a Windows XP install but you may need
the .inf files to describe how to adapt the mini-port drivers to
interface with a particular implementation of a device.
