New in this version is Support for Intel 815 Chipset Family (B-Step).

Oh and also there is a new Intel® Ultra ATA Storage Driver! http://appsr.intel.com/scripts-df/De...2454&strLangs=

Ok, maybe I'm a bit slow but who actually needs these inf updates? For example, I'm running an ASUS CUBX board,do I need/want these?

Thanks for the link...

There is also a graphic driver update for those using the onboard video.

(Like me until my little brother decides to give back my GeeForced 2 and get his own damn card.. he is lucky I don't play any games right now...)

Warning to all INTEL 815 EEA mobo users that happens to be running an Iwill Sideraid 100 (HPT370 based) PCI card and W2K:

Sure way to destroy the card is loading the new inf utility with the board in the system!

Guess how I found out. I managed to screw up 3 cards before it dawned on me what is happening.

I have since updated the inf and ATA drivers after the card was removed from the mobo successfully. Once you get W2K running, you can fit the card again.

Hope this saves somebody a headache or two

sounds like you run a BX chipset board and those inf_inst updates will also update your chipset drivers.
whether you need this particular version or not, depends on when you installed yours, ie. if your OS installation came with latest BX chipset drivers, you should be fine, but it wouldn't hurt if you did it anyway.

Btw, these drivers are for all Intel chipsets and are somewhat the counter part to Via's 4in1 or similar packages and Intel's release 2.30 caused some USB probs on my system that got cured with 2.60.
Now I run 2.80a or whatever was the one before this release.
