Was just searching the forum for the same information. Intel is quite adamant about driver installation sequence: [The Intel® Chipset Software Installation Utility] should be installed immediately after installing your operating system and any operating system service packs, but before installing any other device drivers. . . . In order to be able to install any chipset-related drivers (e.g. graphics, IDE, etc.), your operating system must first be able to recognize your chipset.

If not, how is this handled? thanks much, Paul
