    I believe the driver does as it also installs a PCI Express controller driver

    The chipset driver is very important, and must be the first driver installed
    After installation of the operating system.

    That one from dell is old, here is an updated one..(Use this one 9.1.1.1027 ) http://station-drivers.com/page/intel%20chipset.htm#Chipset
