It's an absolutely unavoidable fact of computer gaming: You have to have the right graphics drivers installed for the hardware you are using, or your operating system won't be able to effectively use hardware acceleration, pixel shading, and other special hardware features available to systems that have the proper drivers installed. This inevitably leads to thousands of gamers flocking to find and download the drivers appropriate for their graphics processor chipset. Anyone using Windows XP on a system with an Intel graphics chipset needs to be sure and install the Intel Graphics Driver XP.

This graphics driver will allow Windows XP to take advantage of all the 3D acceleration and other features available with the Intel graphics chipset, for faster, crystal-clear performance on a large variety of games and other applications. Whether you are a computer video game junkie or just someone who wants to watch high-quality videos on your computer, the Intel Graphics Driver XP is essential if your system is running the Windows XP operating system.

It's important for users to make sure they are using the correct graphics driver. Downloading and installing drivers that aren't the correct one for their hardware and operating system can lead to all sorts of unpredictable problems, such as decreased system performance, program crashes, and device conflicts which can cause the entire operating system to freeze or shutdown. This can be disastrous for any computer user, and of course it makes gaming impossible.

Thus, it's critical that users of systems which include Windows XP and have video cards with video processors that are built on the the Intel chipset use the Intel Graphics Driver XP. Trying to use any other display driver just won't work and could irreversibly damage the system.
