I have found a download for the Intel Chipset at:
http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df/Detail_Desc.asp?agr=N&ProductID=816&DwnldID=7484
I am concerned about this since it could possibly be harmful since it is for
the whole chipset. Does anybody know if there is just a stand alone .inf
(or .exe) for the 82801AA AC'97 Audio Controller?
Thanks!
