Updated driver for Pentium P6100? (Windows 7 64 bit)

I can't find this anywhere. Looked on Intel's site and didn't find an updated driver for this cpu. The driver date for the one installed is 2006, 4 years before the cpu was released! The main reason I want to update is because this driver only supports Open GL 1.1 but I need version 2 which is apparently supported. Please help, thanks.
 
You need look for the graphics driver, not CPU driver. A CPU doesn't need a driver (even for integrated graphics on the CPU, you need a graphics driver). Though Windows has a driver for CPU, at least for Intel CPUs it's a generic one supplied by Microsoft (it's an internal Windows thing and AFAIK not a driver in the common sense of the word) - Intel doesn't provide a "CPU driver".
 
Oh well it's a integrated chip with graphics on it, forgot to mention. I know CPUs themselves don't have drivers. Well this is my driver :

Microsoft
6/21/2006
6.1.7600.16385

See the problem, its a generic default not even provided by Intel, and it came out before my chip did for Christ's sake!

Don't worry about the cpu part of it. Look in device manger so we can get you the latest driver for the video. Look under display adapters. In fact, you have Intel HD graphics so go here and run the utility to manually update the driver.

Actually this is from the display adapter. The driver details for the processor and display adapter are identical, due to them being integrated. The utility is a piece of crap, it tells me I have the latest driver, which is BS. Latest driver came out before my chip did?

What you listed previously (I'll quote it below) is not your graphics driver.

Sadly my dear, it is. That is exactly what it says under "Display Adapters".

I don't even know where to start.
 
Can you take a screen shot and post it of device manager for your display adapter? Specifically the hardware id page like below:

Is the build in your signature correct? If so, you have zero reason to be messing with the integrated GPU since you've got a 6870 in there also.

Now show me a screenshot of the hardware id for the simple pci communications controller.

Thanks a ton, damn I've been using this crappy generic for months, guess I just got used to it. This is way better, 1080P up from 1280 * 1024, Windows Aero, Intel Control Panel, and my favorite Open GL 2.0. Though there is one problem, the screen is cut off if I use 1080P, so I use 1680 * 1050 instead.

There, why does this matter?

So I can give you the correct driver for it. Which is this one.

http://global-download.gateway.com/GDFiles/Driver/AMT/AMT_Intel_6.0.0.1179_W7x86W7x64_A.zip?acerid=634183879590529499&Step1=NOTEBOOK&Step2=NV SERIES&Step3=NV55C&OS=ALL&LC=en&BC=GATEWAY&SC=PA_6G

Looks like max resolution for the screen is 1366 x 768 unless you are using an external monitor.

Well I meant, what does this driver do? I forgot to mention I'm using a 1080P external via hdmi to the laptop. The native 1080P puts stuff off screen for some reason.
