Those of you running mobo's with VIA chipsets (should be all of you with new
AMD platforms/GF2 or V5 computers), they've released their final version
"4in1" Driver set (version 4.29 final) last Friday (3/9). You can download
it at:
http://www.the-ctrl-alt-del.com/utilities/4in1429v(a).zip
Make sure you install them in "turbo" mode....or you'll only be running
AGPx1.....!!!!
My 3DMark2000 scores jumped 12% with these, N4 FPS about 8%....on a AMD
1.2gig Athy, with GF2 ULTRA.
Install these drivers only if you know what you are doing (probably
meaning - you built your own system)!

Tom,
Do you know if these help in any way with the stabilty issues I've seen in
Windows 2000 with the new KT133a/686B motherboards ?
This last weekend I built a new ASUS K7V133a/T-Bird 1.2Ghz (266DDR) system
and Windows 2000 has been a real pain...
No issues with Win98OE at all.

I have a hard enough time keeping up with my
own hardware/ops system changes. I haven't seen anything in the "tech
forums" on this issue either. I wonder, is it possible that you should not
be running Win2000....its not a "gaming ops system?" Is there a solid
reason that you must run it? I guess that's my real question. Re: the new
VIA chipset drivers. They install over the top of each other (as you
probably know)....so try the new ones.....see what happens. You can always
revert back.
TP
I did. Yawn :)....
See my post from yesterday.
Thanks!
