This is the first time that I have used this system- pardon me if I make a mistake.
Intel lists 6 different 850 chipsets per the following.

EXCERPT:
Intel® 850 Chipset Family Boards
However the following utilities do not identify any of the above 850 chipsets.
Intel Chipset Identification Utility V2.91

REPORT EXCERPT:
CPU Type: Intel Pentium 4, 1400 MHz (14 X 100)
Motherboard Name: Dell Dimension 8100
Motherboard Chipset: Intel Tehama i850(E)
My Dell Dimension 8100 is not connected to the internet; therefore, I can't use Intel Driver Update Utility.
I have already installed the Dell Dimension 8100 BIOS XP2 (to support WinXP) and plan to install the
latest software for my Intel 82801BA Ultra ATA Storage Controller. My root problem is that WinXP install
(upgrade from WinME) fails- prior to install, setup complains that I may not have the required support for my
PCI Mass Storage Controller. Previously, my original hard file crashed and I replaced it with a 500GB hard drive,
with PCI EIDE storage controller. I only use this computer for email, so I did not see the need for buying
a new computer.
Thanks, Carl
