Re: motherboard drivers for laptop?

Bought the laptop 3/03 so shouldn't the drivers for Intel chip be there?

Sourced for the drivers on Intel website and could come up with them. All
the hits showed a program for identification of cpu. Where are they or am I
spinning my wheels?

Yes I misunderstood. Thank you for the link which provided me with
Bios update and Intel Utility. Hope this works.

I would have thought that WinXP would have provided drivers for all
Intel chipsets.

Even though Windows XP was released at the end of 2001 and it is not
nearly 5 months into 2008? If you think the service packs should have
included updated drivers - SP2 was released in 2004. Sure - SP3 was
released *now* but, drivers are not the concern of the makers of operating
systems. The hardware drivers are the concern of the manufacturer's of
hardware devices. Only each manufacturer decides whether or not they will
supply drivers for a given OS and for how long they will support that OS.
