What mobo drivers should i install with a bit BD7?

[Byte]

It has an older 845 chipset, should i install any special drivers for WinXP?

 

[TimeKeeper]

nope! Although, I did install the inf driver and IDE performance driver.
(I did the benchmark, and they don't make any different)

i845 (non-G, non-E) *are* included in Win XP natively, so you don't need to worry. If you've got i845G or i845E, then you do need the chipset drivers.

I would personally also recommend using IAA (Intel Application Accelerator) which you can find HERE as Intel's storage driver is better than Microsofts I tend to find. (On non-XP OS's, this also automatically enables DMA).

Hope this helps .

I have a BD7II (845E based) and I didn't need to install any chipset drivers. In fact, Intel specifically says that 845E/G chipsets dont need any drivers in XP (link). They say, though, that the 845 may need a driver for optimal performance in XP, so you might want to take a look.
