To do what it does it must use the CPU and RAM. As to update, I can't guess where you got it but you can look for the usual setup.exe and run it.
HOWEVER the .zip's you noted are for making F6 Driver Diskettes and not used to update the system at all.

How do I actually update the driver for this? I have win 8.1 and task manager says IAStorSataSvc (32 bit) (intel rapid storage technology) is using 277.8 MB of memory (it was over 1,000 last night) and .4% of the CPU. My version is 11.50.1207 and forums indicate this version eats a lot of memory and the driver should be updated. How do I do that? There are two versions that can be downloaded, f6flpy-x86.zip - for 32-bit versions of the operating system and f6flpy-x64.zip - for 64-bit versions of the operating system. Win 8.1 is 64 bit and the IRST says it is 32 bit, so which one do I use? Once I have the right one downloaded, it is a zip folder with 6 files. How do i update the driver? Double click on one of the .sys files, the largest one (there are two, one smaller than the other)?
