They don't give detail.

If it's listed as a necessary driver on your motherboard's driver page, it's probably a good idea, otherwise, probably not. What is your motherboard model number? It should be printed on the motherboard, or you might be able to find it using the following:

Alternatively, if it's a prebuilt system, what is that model number?

This thread pretty much sums it completely up:

In my opinion, I agree with the dissenters that it's not needed. That being said, if you find you have remarked devices (Exclamation mark or question mark) in device manager, just disable it.

Of course, installing it probably won't hurt anything either, and you can then disable it as well.

If it's not resulting in any issues or remarked devices, ignore it.
