Because all hardware installed on PCs seem to need drivers to work.

I build mine like yours and installed cpu AMD cpu drivers

Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 95W 2.4GHz,

No, there is no need to install the driver on a single cored athlon unless you want to take advantage of Cool & Quiet technology (that can be a good thing to save power and wear and tear on your PC).
