What is a chipset driver?
Chipset drivers are software that enables the operating system to use the features of the corresponding chipset.
What do you need to install chipset drivers?
Youll need to know what chipset you have. This may not be particularly easy to do if your system is not a brand name system. If it is a brand name system, start a question like "What chipset does a (insert brand and model) computer have?" And hopefully we'll be able to answer it. If it isn't a brand name system, this is a stickier situation. The only way to get windows to tell you what chipset you have is to look at what drivers its using. Presumably if your system was using the right drivers you wouldn't be looking to install new ones, so its a bit of a catch-22. There is a program you can run which will tell you. It is called unknown device identifier. With a little know-how and a bit of luck you can use it to figure out what chipset you have. I will link to it below. Once you know what chipset youre looking for, 99% of the job is finished. Just go on Google & search for it.
When should chipset drivers be installed?
You should install chipset drivers immediately after installing the operating system. You should reinstall them if there is a newer version or you start losing functionality on your PC. For instance, if some of your USB ports don't work or your PC's performance has drastically reduced, you might want to try reinstalling all your drivers, including your chipset drivers.

Why would you need to install chipset drivers?
Chipset drivers refers to your mainboard. The drivers are used for small detail items like on board video, on board sound card, on board network card, usb ports. The chipset drivers are absolutely essential as they control virtually everything. However, WinXP comes with many generic drivers and will install these during setup. Often they will do the job well enough, but I always install the manufacturer's latest drivers because they are specifically designed for the hardware.

If the motherboard manufacturer doesn't have the chipset drivers available on its website where else can you download the drivers?
If the motherboard manufacturer doesn't have them (which is very unlikely), the chipset manufacturer (such as Intel, NVIDIA, or VIA) may have generic drivers that will work. This should always be a last resort, since the motherboard manufacturer may have made changes that will not work with the generic drivers.
