I recently got a DELL OPTIPLEX GX620 desktop for a steal.  The machine came without a hard disk and therefore I needed to install a new hard disk and Windows XP professional (English version). DELL website provides the full list of drivers, utilities and applications for download. Unfortunately, the site does not mention which are the essential one and does not provide a mapping to the actual downloaded file name. It took me some time to figure it out and following was my record for the essential one :

Chipset -Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility – R132539

The Intel CS INF package contains many different individual INFs, supporting various ICHs, various OSes, and various Intel Chipsets. It is possible that a specific platform may not need all INFs within the package.

In order to extract only the needed INFs for a given platform, please execute the following command (it is very important to run the above command on a platform on which the extracted INF files will be later installed):

setup.exe -aonly -overall

The above command will send the needed INFs to C:\Program Files\Intel\INFInst folder.

Video – Intel 82945G Express Chipset Family -R126542

Network -Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet PCI-E – R97582

Audio -Analog Devices ADI 198x Integrated Audio – R97809

System Utility – Dell Utility – R121089.EXE (not yet installed)

Fixes and enhancements

1. Changed USB driver support in Windows 2000 SP3/SP4
