Intel storage matrix driver and VISTA

[Torque]

Hi,

I've just installed Vista Ultimate x32-bit on my T60.

I'm not sure wether it's necessary to install the storage matrix driver or not. In BIOS, it's set to AHPI. According to the readme that came with the driver download, I should pre-install the drivers during installation with a floppy. Since I don't have a floppy drive, this is not an option.

But is it at all necessary? I have a 100GB 7200rpm drive.

What have you guys done?
