    Anyone know what motherboard from Intel this dv4-1435dx uses? It's a 14" model from Best Buy. Just wanted to know before I bought it tomorrow...thanks!

    Actually chipset...is it a GM45? I'm trying to get a hold of the Chipset, Matrix, and Graphics drivers...

    For this particular dv4, the motherboard chipset is indeed the Intel GM45.

    The Intel chipset, Matrix Storage Manager, and graphics drivers are all available at Intel's Download Center. The latest drivers to the chipset and Matrix Storage Manager are also linked in my driver thread (same drivers as your dv5, it will work for the dv4 too) -- see sig.
