    So, i'm trying to update my chipset drivers from http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=816. Problem being, I download the 965 Express Chipset Family drivers for my correct OS (the first two drivers listed, .exe and .zip, not the embedded driver), and when I go to install them it tells me my computer doesn't meet the requirements to install the driver.

    What am I missing here? Thanks in advance.

    Not sure why they removed that download. I can't find the chipset drivers on Intel's site any more - odd.

    Are you running Vista x64?

    Yes, Vista Home Premium x64. I used the chipset driver you can get off of Gateway's site, but wanted to update with the most recently available driver if it's available.
