While I am not generally in favor of 'eye candy', accurate progress bars are both useful and possibly essential.

Actually, Intel updated pretty much ALL of their drivers in the past 10 days.

Audio, LAN, GMA, Chipset, Wireless, and HECI.

Everything was released to support motherboards using the new 4 and 5 series chipsets, but there are new dlls in there for older gear as well.

There are three different driver packages for Audio (newer chips, older ships, OEM'd Reaktek chips) and two different packages for GMA adapters (older and newer chips).

Ah, but is it available directly from intel.com yet?

Bashrat, have you also though about approaching mirrors.tds.net (Madison, WI, USA) about some mirror space?  They mirror a pile of Linux distros as well as OpenOffice as a 'public service' with loads of bandwidth.  TDS is about 200 kms northwest of SimpleCDN (they are in Chicago, yes) and are on several big fiber pipes as well as Internet2.

Ah, so should we bother testing h or wait for h.1?

8.06 is still available as a nightly.....

However, newer Intel IGPs will happily run 19x12 at 32 bit.....

Jake/Jaak, do you have any interest in updating this driverpack?  If so, would you consider adding the Wacom TabletPC driver for XP?

Thanks in advance!

Intel released their version of the IDT drivers a few days ago, version 5790 for XP (WHQL).

Nope, not a single 'driver' in there.  The 'dll' files are all language/locale specific and are translation tables for the setup installer.

However, the utility is chock-full of chipset-specific .cat and .inf files though and as such is probably the definitive, single-source for such things from Intel.  No need to hunt all over for mobo-specific installers.  Just grab this thing once a month (or whenever) and drop the inf files into the chipset driverpack.

The .inf files also list out just about every (valid?!?) HardwareID for Intel motherboards.  Nice source of information there.

I'm not sure how useful the Intel utility itself is for the Driver Packs themselves, but it might be useful as a **guide** for what is really necessary to support Intel mobos and chipsets.
