[Alfie]

Just installing drivers etc for my new gigabyte board and the installation disk wants me to install Intel(R) Management Engine Software for HECI. It says I "MUST" install it but I never install anything unless I know what it is, particularly chipset drivers (apart from INF and RST of course!)

I have tried to find out what the hell this is but I can't find much info on it. Do I actually need to install it and what does it do?

Board is P67A-UD7-B3

Thanks in advance.

If you have any intention of using the Operating System based tuning software that comes with all motheboards these days you will need to have the IM software installed. Does not slow your system down at all. Worth downloading the latest version directly from the Intel site.
