    Hi, I'm new here, not experienced computer user and unfortunately not even English native speaker... :( . But I'm also so keen to learn which are correct drivers for my machine (Lenovo ThinkPad SL500 2746-2ZG) NOT using this creepy ThinkVantage utilities like System Update or so which I simply don't trust. My first problem is about "Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility". What I need to do first is to determine which chipset I got. On intel web site they say to open "Device Manager" then expend the "System devices" entry. Then they say: "Look for the chipset name in a string similar to the following: "Intel® 955X Memory Controller Hub - 2774". In this example, the chipset is an Intel® 955X Express Chipset."... So here is what I got from my "Device manager" and still not sure which exactly one was my chipset model:

    Any help kindly appreciated. :)

    Intel PM45 is your chipset.

    Is it really " PM45", not " GM45" though...? :confused: Thanks for your suggestion anyway. :)

    Hi again, sorry for my persistence but I'm about to do things I'm rally not competent about and I wouldn't like to mess it, so I just need to be sure before I act. So please somebody confirm, weather it's some mistake about this " PM45" chipset which "Padme" mentioned before or this is exactly right. Because I found and downloaded some software form "intel" web site recognizing types of chipset and it pointed like it is " GM45"... This is all about finding right chipset software for it then. Hopping somebody helps. :rolleyes:

    Greetings szaroczek
