Updating Chipset Question

Hi;
I can use some friendly advice if possible;
I've never updated the chipset drivers on my Asus P4C800-e deluxe mobo and
to get things up to date as of now I need to do so.
The chipset is an Intel 875P. I have downloaded and run the executable
driver file for this chipset on the Intel site which is as follows; INF
Upgrade Utility [INFINST_AUTOL.exe].
The question is; is this the actual chipset upgrade or is this file some
kind of utility that I have to find in explorer and execute from there?
What's puzzling is that the file installs a folder named INTEL on the drive
with nothing in it but a readme. The readme this file installs on the HDD is
the only file there and it gives a long and detailed instruction list on 3
different ways to install the update????
Can someone shed some light on all this for me. I want to understand it a
bit better. Right now I'm not sure exactly what this executable has done?
Many thanks
Dudley
 
You download chipset drivers from your mobo manu site, Asus, and follow
their installation instructions
 
Aren't my chipset drivers a different source than the BIOS CMOS update I
would get from Asus? I have an Intel 875P chipset. I'm not updating the
bios; just the chipset. Isn't this an Intel download?

The 875 uses and installs the chipset update only for the 875,the newest intel
chipset itilities are worthless,get v2.11.150 I believe it came out in
12/05 Its
the last for 875,you can also get/use the chipset configuration utility,it
only
runs on 875 and 865 chipsets,a neat utility,all at intel.com
 
Thank you very much
