Intel(R) Chipset Identification Utility - Production Version On this page are 2 utitilities.

The Intel® Chipset Identification Utility provides an easy way to identify the specific Intel chipset that is located on your motherboard. This information can be used to determine if your system supports software such as the Intel® Application Accelerator, Intel® Chipset Software Installation Utility, or Intel's Graphics Drivers.
