GIGABYTE GA-965P-S3 installing latest driver help

[acoustic5679]

My mobo is a GIGABYTE GA-965P-S3
(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813128017)

I believe the correct driver for this is this...

I have never updated a driver on the motherboard. I am assuming I should keep up to date with it just as any device and the newsest drivers. Are there any precautions to take when installing a mobo driver? And also, could someone tell me if I have the correct driver to install for the mobo I have?

personally, i only EVER update drivers if there is a reason to do so (ie, a bug that i have actually come across)

and yes, that is the right driver.

I guess I have no reason. I recently did a fresh install on my computer and I figured it would maybe speed things up a bit if I had the latest driver. So, to not possibly add any more trouble I won't update it.

After installing an OS, it's better that you install the chipset driver.
Here's directly from intel : http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/sb/CS-022768.htm

Are there any precautions I should take before I update the chipset driver? I have never done this before and would like to cover all bases so I know what to do if I can't get the PC to boot up or whatever could go wrong

After an install load the latest drivers from the website. Nothing special, slam it in there.
