What is SM Bus controller 1

[ahmtech123]

HI I reformatted my IBM R51 laptop with windows xp pro. Only thing messed up in the device manager is SM Bus controller. I searched the imb website and can not find. Does anyone know what this is or where I can find a driver for it?

Thanks much.

Bob2c,
I have battled trying to explain how to download the infset utility from Intel for over a year.

You link is short and sweet. (Use the .ZIP format, you will never reach the FTP server for the .EXE format).

Thank you, star,
Bill

I should note that the Intel utility will expect:
. an Intel processor
. Intel support chipsets

For example, you may have an Intel P4 processor, but VIA or SiS support chipsets. This utility will not help you.

Question...

Doesn't the Intel Application Accelerator take care of this?

The Intel® Application Accelerator replaces the ATA drivers that come with Windows* with drivers optimized for desktop and mobile PCs using select Intel® chipsets. It reduces the storage sub-system bottleneck, enabling the processor and other system level hardware to be more productive and efficient. In most cases, it is not a requirement for your operating system to work properly."

I think you need the INF utility for other chipset drivers.
