    I don't see an Intel Chipset download on the Dell drivers page for my Inspiron 14R. Should I download it elsewhere and install it? Or do core i3 chips not need this software?

    Thanks!

    Dell may not have all the drivers up just yet.

    If you're doing a clean install, you can either try and see if the OS finds the driver, or wait a bit to see if Dell updates the page in the near future.

    I assume it should work to just install the driver from Intel's site. I'll try that.
