Hello, I am fixing to refresh windows 7 with the RTM version I bought.

I got my ethernet drivers just incase, but the one thing I can't find is my chipset utility. I know the built in video is intel 4500M, but I have no idea which of these chipsets are for me as the primary chipset.

Here is the page I am stuck on
My Laptop: Compaq Presario CQ60-433US Notebook PC
http://www.intel.com/products/laptop/chipsets/index.htm

Please help!

I know that windows 7 will install their own driver, but I feel better using the latest driver from my actual chipset manufacturer. I can't tell you how many times I would rather use guru3d beta drivers or nforce hq fernando 1's sata performance pack over regular releases thru microsoft windows update.

I have also read that installing the latest vista 64 chipset drivers on windows 7 64 gives a boost.

Download this utility from Intel (http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=861&DwnldID=17949&lang=eng) and it will identify your chipset for you.

I have found drivers for your notebook, well no surprise, here (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=4062&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=3998639).
And here's (http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/embedded/GS45/index.htm) the info on the chipset.
