Need i845PE chipset drivers

Ok long story short, my motherboard came with everything but the CD, and I've been running the computer without the chipset drivers all this time. I have however installed the application accelerator that I found on Intel's site. What I haven't been able to find is where to get the latest chipset drivers for my mobo, so would someone be kind enough to link me up? My computer runs find however right now, so what kind of changes should I expect after installing the drivers? Will it be more stable?

For some reason I thought the application accelerator contained the chipset drivers but I could be wrong. If your comp is working ok then no need really, but below is the link for the chipset drivers if you want them.

Go into your system properties and check the devise manager for any missing drivers or conflicts. If you're not showing a problem there, its because Windows has installed drivers already.

When you ask if it will be more stable, are you having hardware-related stability problems now?

There is a myth that driver updates are some kind of magic elixir that will add ten FPS to your games and make you better looking. With the rarest of exceptions driver updates, and especially motherboard driver updates, only correct specific conflicts or problems. The same goes for BIOS updates, too. If you're not having those problems, there is no reason to install the updates.

That link you gave lets me install the installation utility but what about the chipset itself. I see 845 chipset family, but it only shows 845G, will it work well with my mobo?

The 4.10 is for every chipset up to the new one the PE chipset is on the list and so is the E7505.

Here's a link to driver updates for intel motherboards: http://developer.intel.com/design/motherbd/gendrive.htm

Since you have an asus board, I'm thinking you might have to go to their site for the drivers.

But now I'm scared because it says I should always install the INF drivers before any others. But I already installed the Application Accelerator.

Did you buy a refurbished motherboard? Why didn't it have an installation CD?
