Fine tuning chipset driver

Recommended Posts

I SEE THAT IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT I SHOULD UPDATE THE DRIVER FOR MY INTEL CHIPSET 845 TO ACHIEVE ENHANCED GAME PLAY.

COULD SOMEONE PLEASE ASSIST ME IN LOCATING THE EXACT WEBSITE PAGE WHERE I CAN DOWNLOAD THE UPDATED DRIVER.

I HAVE LISTED BELOW A POSSIBLE SITE.

A POSSIBLE INTEL WEBSITE

IF THIS IS THE CORRECT PAGE, THEN COULD YOU ALSO CONVEY TO ME WHICH IS THE CORRECT LINK.

YOUR HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRETIATED SINCE I AM VERY WORRIED ABOUT ANY ACTIVITY WHERE I ALTER SOFTWARE WHICH COULD BE SO POTENTIALLY DAMAGING.

I would install the Intel Software Installation Utility and then the Intel Application Accelerator. If you use the built-in graphics controller of the Intel 845G or 845GLchipset instead of a separate PCI or AGP graphics card, you should also install the latest Intel 845G/GL graphics driver, but this is not needed with the 845 or 845E.

I feel quite stupid right now.

My chipset is 850 (I only know this from the computer's manual).  I have WinXP.  I have GeF 4 Ti4600.

My questions now are this:

(1) How do I determine if a letter follows the chipset (within WinXP)?

(2) Given the above assistance, but assuming now 850 and GeF 4, is there anything different as advice?

Intel has a Chipset Identification Utility that will tell you exactly what is inside your system.

The advise about the Software Installation Utility and the Intel Application Accelerator still stands -- install them both. You have no need for the 845G/GL drivers, however.
