If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question. You primary answer is at the Intel link you gave. Go for it. First, Intel is one of the few companies whose drivers I would implicitly trust, especially chipset drivers. Second, it's a new OS install, so you don't have much to lose if it doesn't work.
On the other hand, if this were a scenario of a long-time stable machine with lots of stuff already installed and customized, I would apply the guideline 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I would not install it unless a specific problem arose that would require the installation of the INF utility to solve. I used to install it on XP as it needed it, even when I installed SP2, I would have errors with certain on board components. I have not tried SP3 as I have never run it on physical hardware, only in VM's which obviously didnt need it.
I am currently using Windows 7 and out of the box it did not require any drivers and I have been getting good speeds on USB and performance elsewhere. When I reinstalled 7, I did install the drivers again but it did the same as on Vista SP1 and just finished without visually doing anything, so I guess 7 contains the latest drivers.
It may be possible that in the future, there is some upgrade that does many new features, but I am sure we will all hear about it first. If everything is working and you get no yellow triangles in computer management, I think you are safe! Steps: a. Open Programs and Features.
