    Ok guys i need some help!

    I own a m14xR1.
    After my HDD died, i installed a SSD wich runs SATA 3 with flashed A08 BIOS
    very well.
    The whole System runs very fine, so i wonder what this driver does?
    I could't install the driver for this device.
    What is this?

    Ok, I installed the chipset driver from the Intel website.
    For now everything is fine, system still runs very fast. :D

    Thanks for input
