Yeah i've installed first the chipset and then that optional driver, cuz i think that if i had installed the optional driver first and the chipset after, the chipset would have replaced the optional driver so i would have the new driver replaced with the old. right?
The chipset, more or less, controls the "communications" between the various parts of a motherboard.
That's why you want it installed first. It makes it a lot easier for the other drivers to install properly.
Imagine trying to find something in a dark room, filled with furniture.
Installing the chipset driver is like turning the lights on, first.
The chipset driver says: Over here is the RAM slot. There is the CPU socket.
Way over there is the vid card slot, and those little holes in the wall are USB ports.
That's the audio chip, and that thing over there is for connecting to the internet.
These things down here, connect to where we store data. Etc...
Silicon > BIOS > operating system > chipset driver > then everything else...
Personally, I always install the vid card driver, last. Cause the vid card is almost like a whole separate computer.
The motherboard chipset is kind of hard to explain, so here's a picture...
