IP-35 Pro - best source for drivers?

[Taz]

I'm gathering together the drivers that i'll need for my forthcoming IP-35 Pro motherboard. There seems to be a variation in what's available in this forum and what's on the Abit site. Which is the best source for the latest Vista 64-bit drivers for the IP-35 Pro motherboard?

The latest drivers can be found direct from the source i.e. chipset drivers from intel. abit website is not always upto date.

Sean, can you be a bit more specific with regards to all the drivers that I will need for the IP-35 Pro motherboard running Vista 64-bit? The Abit site just contains links to the source sites but not to the download pages for the specific drivers required. For example, when I go to the Intel site then which driver should I download?

Hi d3fiant, thanks for your help. I've managed to download the following:

- abit FlashMenu Full version Vista 64-bit
- abit uGuru 3.1X Vista 64-bit
- Intel Chipset Vista 64-bit - version 8.3.1.1009 PV
- JMicron Installation Disk
- Intel Matrix Storage Manager - version 7.8.0.1012
- JMicron SATA Driver Vista 64-bit - version R1.17.28.00
- Realtek 8110SC Gigabit Lan V6.197 Driver Vista 64bit - version 6.197.0917.2007
- Realtek High Definition Audio Driver Vista 64-bit - version R1.81

I was having some difficulty in getting the Intel chipset driver as I didn't know which chipset to search for. Also, some of the wording used to describe the drivers on the source sites differs from the wording used on Abit's site (and the stickies here). That's what threw me a bit but I think i've got everything now.

I have one outstanding question in another thread on here regarding the JMicron Installation Disk driver that I hope someone from Abit can answer.

Ur chipset is the Intel P35 but the latest inf driver tends to cover ALL intel chipsets much like Nvidia forceware drivers cover all (well most) of their gfx cards, there is a word for it by my brain is slow due to cold weather today

Hope u sort out the probs
