    Newer Chipset drivers for X38??? Then what is one Intel's site?

    Doing a fresh format (XP64) and am looking to see if there is a newer chipset driver either it be BETA or not, that is newer then the 9/07 driver on intels site. Going to be using XP x64 and a raid0 setup, are the F6 drivers with the chipset drivers? Thanks

    Latest SB drivers can always be found here:
    http://www.station-drivers.com/page/intel%20raid.htm

    Latest NB drivers can always be found here:
    http://www.station-drivers.com/page/intel%20chipset.htm

    The 64-bit F6 drivers that go with the linked SB drivers are missing, here is a separate download to them:

    Don't know why intel keeps such out of date drivers on their website.

    I don't know. Intel has extremely old and out dated drivers on their website, for reasons unknown.

    003......Thanks again for the links! Using the X64 F6 drivers to install Vista64 WILL NOT WORK FOR ME, however being that I want to install XP64 Pro anyhow, they work fantastic. Since that there more snappier then the old drivers on Intel's website, and I can enable advanced options for my RAID setup, and Raptor HDD's. I am "NOT" going to install the Maxtrix Manager software as everything seems fine an dandy without "ANOTHER" driver getting loaded up on startup. I have "write back cache" Enabled for my drives W/O the Maxtrix manager software loaded (this is the only reason I installed that program to begin with.) Is there any reason besides what I listed, to install the Maxtrix Manager?

    Hmm thats the second report of the F6 drivers not working for Vista. Not sure why that is. Oh well, you and I both use XP x64 The Matrix Storage Manager is not a bad thing to have nor a resource hog. You can easily check on the status of and manage your RAID array(s). I recommend installing it, but I don't think there is any harm in not doing so.

    Hmm they just worked for me yesterday. Intel has actually updated its site to the latest drivers though, get them here:
