I installed Windows 7 Pro (32 bit) on my Dell Dimension 9150 a couple of months back. I did not install any chipset drivers for the Intel 945 Express Chipset Family.

Does Windows 7 install one automatically?

I have researched how to find what driver version is installed by looking at the registry and it shows 8.1.1.1010

Looking at the Intel web-site I am a bit confused as to what to download to upgrade this to the latest version.

Firstly is it actually worth doing this or am I likely to introduce problems. I did hear you should only install chipset drivers as the first action when installing a new operating system?

The intel web site only refers to something called the Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility. Is this the chipset drivers? If so it would seem that the latest version would be 9.1.1.1025.

Help appreciated.
