Updating Graphics Controller

^ That is what Graphics controller I have..

So I installed a game online. (http://osu.ppy.sh/p/download) The only problem I have when playing the game is that its so laggish! I asked for help on their site (http://osu.ppy.sh/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=19427). They said that I have to update my drivers. So I updated it through the download center. But I cant find any updater there. I tried downloading this (http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=9033&ProdId=865&lang=eng) which I probably think that it is wrong because it says that it is 82845G whereas my driver is 82865G. But I downloaded it anyway.After downloading, I got an error message saying that my PC didnt meet the min. requirements. I looked up on the requirements, I think the problem is because I dont have the ff. chipsets: intel(R) 845G Chipset, Intel(R) 845GL Chipset,Intel(R) 845GE Chipset,Intel(R) 845GV Chipset which is required. I remembered that I tried a month ago (yeah i was experimenting on this driver things a long time ago really) the chipset identification utility, and I saw a result that I dont have a chipset, im not sure but it says that no chipset found or something like that..

So my questions are,

1. If I really dont have a chipset, where can I get those? Or is it just a downloadable stuff online? Or it's a thing to buy?

2. Will the game Im playing probably work normal after doing this?

3. How do I update my driver?

Sorry, im really not that advanced at computers. Im 15 thats why.

Hi,

The latest (i uses the word loosely) drivers for you graphics controllers are here: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Graphics&ProductLine=Desktop+graphics+controllers&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+82865G+Graphics+and+Memory+Controller+Hub+%28GMCH%29

The one i think you would need is the Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator Driver (exe) for XP.

It may help the game but i doubt it, but tehre is no harm in trying is tehre?

Now regarding whether you have a chipset in your system or not...yes you do, the chipset is teh controller for the system. I am sure a quick google or wiki will bring you up loads of info on it for you to learn

Hope this helps.
