    Hello friends I am writing mu first post on this forum today. I have some queries which I think might be solved here. If this thread is posted in the wrong section kindly forgive me.

    Alright coming to the point I recently bought a Compaq 610 Laptop which have the specifications as below :
    Code: 
    [B]Intel® Core2 Duo Processor T5870
2.24GHZ Mobile™ Intel® GME965 Express Chipset
320GB SATA HDD
3GB RAM
Mobile™ Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X3100[/B]
    Now I want to switch to Windows 7 from Vista. I got the drivers related to my lappy for W7. But there is one glitch. There are no drivers for the Intel X3100 instead they have provided with some ATI drivers , I dunno why.


    So can anyone guide me from where shall I get the latest drivers for the Mobile™ Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 compatible with Windows 7 Ultimate Edition 32-bit ??

    Thank you...
