Date: Thu, 26 May 2005 08:33:38 -0700I am working with a Tyan Tiger 230 that uses a VIA Apollo Pro 133A chipset (VT82C694X & VT82C686B) At the VIA site I see two versions of the 4in 1 drivers -------------------------------------------------------------------VIA Hyperion 4in1 drivers are suitable for ANY VIA chipset - but they are particularly recommended for KT4## series, P4X4## series and newer, for example:K7 chipsets: KT400, KT400A, KT600, KT880, KM400, KN400 K8 chipsets: K8T800, K8T800Pro, K8M800, K8T890, K8T890Pro P4 chipsets: P4X400, P4X400A, PT800, PT880, PM800, PM880, PT880Pro Hyperion 4in 1 driver Version - 4.56v 12 April 2005VIA Hyperion 4in1 drivers are compatible with any VIA chipset. Performance, however, is optimized for the more recent and the latest chipsets. Therefore some users of slightly older or legacy chipsets report that using the older 4.43 drivers they experience a more responsive system.4in 1 Driver Version - 4.43 25 October 2001 -------------------------------------------------------------------Does anyone have any experience with this.... the board is circa 2001-2... so should I go with the old drivers?thanks
Go with the latest, no harm done. No support of features from older chipsets
are taken away, its just VIA kindly reminding people to not expect a miracle
performance boost from a dinosaur.
