Just don't expect Intel to hold your hand anymore. The drivers are out there—buried in archives, forums, and open-source kernels. Happy hunting!
But here’s the thing: Legacy hardware doesn’t just disappear. Whether you’re building a Windows XP retro gaming rig, setting up a lightweight Linux home server, or just trying to keep an old office PC running for grandma’s email, the DQ965GF is a tank that refuses to quit.
If you go to Intel’s Download Center today and search for "DQ965GF," you will get a polite "No results." Intel ended support for the 965 series years ago, and they have since moved on, deleting legacy driver repositories.
