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.

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.
