I noticed on another forum someone mentioned they were waiting for a firmware update for a chipset. They were not talking about a driver program, but a firmware update for a chipset. By chipset I mean a CPU supporting chip, or a chip for peripheral devices, such as an Intel ICH10, ICH9, X58, G45, or Marvell 91xx, any Realtek audio chips, etc.
Apparently the support rep for a mother board manufacture told a customer that a firmware update was pending for a certain chipset, which I didn't think made any sense, but I don't know everything. Does an ICH10 or X58 have firmware?
