"It is not for everyone. "This download is intended for use with Intel Desktop Boards."" That is the entire point of the program you fool!! It's to help the OS interact with the INTEL chipset.... if you don't have an INTEL chipset, you DON'T NEED IT!!!! which is why it is required.... great app, makes things nice and easy! |

You people are so dumb! This is for ALL Intel chipset motherboards that are made by anyone... ASUS, ABIT ect.......... |

Intel releases these updates for their own brand boards first in every scenario. Then they filter down the line to the generic 'all chipset' area on Intel's site. So for those wondering where this and these types of updates come from, simple go to Intel's site and pick any of their current boards. I've used these releases before and they work, but it doesn't mean that they'll keep working - one day they may really be for intel boards only. |

Unless you specifically know you need this, there is no point in installing this package, as little to no difference will be made and/or experienced. |

Just upgraded this, first time I have ever done so in the two years I have had this dell computer. After checking what chipset and motherboard it had, it seems that all went well, no problems, guess it was time to update anyway. |
| xsnred | Aug 5, 2008 | 9.0.0.1011 | 5 out of 5 |
To DudeBoyz: I had the exact question and emailed Intel support and they write that there is no need to upgrade every time a new version comes out. They state if any version you are using works, then keep that one. I myself always install the latest and newest updates to everything. |
| tbresson | Aug 5, 2008 | 9.0.0.1011 | 5 out of 5 |
I've had no problems whatsoever. But then again I don't even know if it does anything :P It installs pretty fast on Vista. Regarding Vista. If you choose Vista Ultimate 32 bit, then no - there's no software for that. But by choosing Vista* og Vista 32* you'll find the download. The Windows ME version is available on the site and it is the same version as for Windows XP. But the Vista version is too. Yet they have both different versions numbers and OS support according to their own website. Perhaps the newest version finally left the old OS'es and included Vista. Check the site and read a bit about the software :) |

Oddly this version (9.0.0.1011) isn't available from the Intel site/Download Centre yet! That's still showing the latest release as 9.0.0.1008. Wonder if it's a leak? And for that matter, what's changed? Update: Well it is available, but not from the chipset section rather under certain Intel Desktop motherboards. Direct link: http://downloadcenter.in...%20Systems&lang=eng Unfortunately, no release notes are posted. |

@DudeBoyz I have always installed the latest versions. And they all work fine for me. |
| DudeBoyz | Aug 5, 2008 | 9.0.0.1011 | 4 out of 5 |
EDIT for xsnred: I am like you. I normally want to use the very latest because I figure that at the least they would contain more fixed bugs and so its best to install the latest. I try to do a Ghost Image backup before I install any new drivers though, just in case something goes bonkers. Anyway, thanks for the reply. :) Thank You also for others that helped in answering my question. I appreciate it. ORIGINAL POST -------------------------------- I use these drivers with my system and they seem to do whatever they do safely. However, I'm wanting to ask - Should users install these updates each and every time they are released no matter what Intel chipset you have? Or is it better to stick with the version that came with the CD-ROM and the Motherboard? With Via 4-in-1 drivers, I always installed the very latest, and I still do that with my Realtek HD Audio drivers. But I'm just not sure if I should do the same with these Intel drivers. I'd appreciate any helpful and informative answers other users can provide. Thank you. |

the download is no longer avaiable (any 32 bit vista)... so I guess it is 0/5... (will correct it IF CHANGED) |

Not posted on the Intel site, you wouldn't use it, so you give it a "1". Whew! LOOK to see where the file is being downloaded from (Intel), READ the readme.txt file (Production Version): ********************************************** * Product: Intel(R) Chipset Device Software * Release: Production Version * Version: 8.4.0.1016 * Target Chipset#: E7300 * Date: August 10 2007 ********************************************** The name of this site is BetaNews. Expect to be on the bleeding edge when you are here. If you rely on your computer to make your living, most probably the last thing you need to be doing is testing BETA software on it. Please don't attack or rate a product low simply because you don't have confidence in it, and you have no intention to try it. That is counter to the purpose of this website. |

These are not posted on Intel's site yet nor was the other update. Until they come out on Intel, I would not install. |

I agree, these past comments "should not be posted" as they have nothing to do with this build. |

I always wait until they show up on Intel site. Right now they show 8.3.0.1013. at least for the 875P chipset. |

New Features Features Added in Production Version 8.3.0.1013 Description 1 Installer is now signed with a class 3 digital signature 2 Updated INF with friendly name strings for Intel(R) 3 Series Chipsets 3 New look and feel for the user interface Issues Resolved Issues Resolved in Production Version 8.3.0.1007 Description 1 Fixed: -a switch doesn’t extract INFs - workaround: The INFs are available in the zipped release media. 2 Minor localization issues. 3 SMBus does not install correctly and remove the yellow bang on SMBus device. 4 Some devices were not updating correctly or at all. Fixed in installer. Software Sightings and/or Known Issues Information On Microsoft Windows 2000* operating system, if the Intel® 82801 BA/BAM AC '97 Audio Controller device is enabled, the system may fail to enter the ACPI S3 system power state. On certain systems, the issue has been attributed to some behavior experienced with the AC '97 Audio Device driver included with the Microsoft Windows 2000 operating system. To address this issue install an updated device driver for the Intel® 82801 BA/BAM AC '97 Audio Controller. During the Windows* setup stage; the USB keyboard and mouse may not be accessible. This is because the legacy USB driver may be inactive when Windows enters the GUI mode. There is a small window of time when it may not be possible for the system to accept user input. Since Intel® Chipset Device Software may cause prompts during the Windows setup stage, it should be ensured that the system BIOS support for legacy USB keyboard and mouse is enabled. Older revisions of the Intel® LANDesk Software Package may cause a Device Manager warning when installed on a system after Intel® Chipset Device Software has been executed on the system. The language registry key, which should be located at : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Intel\Chipset\Language=[3 letter language code], does not exist after install. When the -p command line flag option is used the license.txt file is included in addition to the readme.txt file. The old "Intel(R) Chipset Software Installation Utility" name can be seen briefly when the setup program is executed. |

Issues Resolved Fixed Vista “Program Compatibility Assistant” dialog that is shown when using the setup.exe file. New Features Added signature support for Microsoft Windows Vista Known Issues When using the self extracting executable (InstallShield* Package For The Web) the Vista “Program Compatibility Assistant” dialog will appear and give an error that says: "An unidentified program wants access to your computer". To avoid this scenario, use the .zip version; otherwise, select the "Allow" option and setup will continue. |

Klusternisse, you are wrong. They linked to a beta driver build. The 1001 you see it's the build number for the new release. The numbers before that are higher and that means a new version/minor revision in the 8.x.x release scheme. |

changes ftp://aiedownload.intel.com/df-support/8638/ENG/relnotes.htm Typically the chipset software is for new installs of an OS, i.e. building a new image. The fixes resolved don't typically change any drivers, but they fix the issues with silent installs or custom installations. It's not recommended on Intel systems to update your chipset drivers after the previous versions have been installed. (however on Nvidia, Via, sis chipsets they usually do have features/upgrades that are paramount to install new chipset installs. |
| bourgeoisdude | Jun 9, 2005 | 7.0.0.1025 | 5 out of 5 |
BEFORE DOWNLOADING -- realise that it may be wise to remember that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Having said that if you are installing WinXP on a home-built system ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS install the chipset driver first! |

"Can someone confirm that this will work with Windows 98 First Edition and the 845G/GL chipset?" If you would look to the right of the download page where it gives the specs it tells you that the OS are Windows 95/98/Me/NT/XP/2000 and yes, it does work with my 845G/GL chipset! |
