Yes you need it, it is the chipset drivers which control the VIA hardware in your comp.

You can download from your comp manufacturers website or from VIA (http://www.via.com.tw/en/support/drivers.jsp).

What kind of comp is it and what model? Dell optiplex 380, HP such and such etc.........

If not a brand name you could take the cover off and try and see what model the motherboard is.

Or, just use PC wizard (http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/pc-wizard.html). The .zip version doesn't require installation.
