You have to know what motherboard chipset you've got to pick the correct UniChrome driver. If you don't know your chipset then you can use CPU-Z to find out. Run CPU-Z and go to the "Mainboard" tab. Your chipset is listed in the "Chipset" field. That chipset tells you which of the links to use on this page.

The latest drivers apply to the K8*800/890 chipsets. I just upgraded to those recently.

You just download it from here, unzip it, and run it. This page is for updating chipset drivers but it explains in detail how to run CPU-Z and has a screenshot of where it shows you your chipset.
