    Hi!

    I just got my new notebook!

    I am currently preparing all the drivers/installers and I have a few questions:

    1. Do I need processor drivers? I have never installed them before.

    Intel® Chipset Software Installation Utility
    http://downloadcenter.intel.com/fil...XP+Professional&lang=eng&strOSs=44&submit=Go!

    2. What about motherboard and sound drivers?

    As far as I can remember, the only drivers I used to install were video and lan drivers...
    What else do I need to do?

    Thanks

    1) that is your chipset (motherboard) driver, not your processor

    2) sound drivers can be found on the manufacturer's site of your notebook.

    Look for other drivers on your on the manufacturer's site of your notebook, you will get a feel for what you need.
