Drivers for new E8400 CPU?
After a long period of buying AMD (no reason, just that it was a better deal at the time), I finally bought my first Intel CPU, the Core 2 Duo Wolfdale E8400.
I'm going to install Windows XP SP2 on a new MSI P35 Neo2-FIR motherboard. Do I need any special drivers for the E8400? Some years ago, with my AMD system, I remember installing AMD drivers to enable Cool n' Quiet for the Athlon processor.
Are there similar drivers needed by the E8400 to enable Intel's Speed Step, or are drivers needed for this CPU for any other reason?
