    How do you know? Windows XP drivers are not regularly updated, if ever anymore. Windows XP has been retired and uses a different driver model than Vista, 7, and 8.

    Later Windows models contain certain drivers, and therefore there are not updated versions unless the reference driver is flawed.

    Even if you check AMD's website, it points you right back to MSI for drivers.

    Dont you think i know that but i know for a fact there is a later driver out there.I have tried to use the latest AMD Advanced micro and that did not fix the SM Bus Controller error in Hard ware section.I have done searching on xp for files in and out.And even though i tried the controller no the MSI site it still shows yellow issue.But desktop is running fine.Even shows yellow on my USB 3.0 port and yet i do have the latest driver for that as well.

    Was that a question, or a statement?


    Either way, no I do not think you know.

    Where is the evidence that there is a newer one out there for that chipset?

    Different chipsets use different drivers. Not all chipsets are included in reference drivers. Also, what AMD drivers are you referring to? There is no 8 series chipset downloads that I see.

    SM Bus Controller is not a generic driver.

    I know there are catalyst 13.1 drivers. However, these are gpu drivers only.

    Keep in mind it may still be the same driver version. AMD's inf file code everything to be a certain version when installed, regardless of the actual individual driver version. Good to see it worked out though. I will be surprised if you get usb 3.0 working.
