    I was wondering if anyone else has been able to update their motherboard drivers. Acer does a shoddy job keeping up with drivers so I was just curious if anyone has found some acceptable drivers elsewhere (Intel perhaps?) Much thanks.

    Are you only looking for the Chipset drivers? Intel does sometimes release INF updates for their Chipsets. If you know exactly which chipset you have, you can compare versions from Intel & Acer. The manufacturers are usually one revision behind.

    Is there a reason you need the chipset drivers? Is there a problem?

    There isn't really a problem but I noticed in my 3DMark results my FSB registered as 0MHz which is usually a tell-tale sign of a driver issue.
