new VIA drivers

[shtweazel]

Have any of you installed the latest 4.33 4in1 VIA drivers and/or the 3.12 busmaster drivers? Are they any good?

I've used them and noticed a marginal increase in my RAID peformance. Nothing to do cartwheels over though.

They were manufactured to fix specific problems with certain chipsets so you may not see any difference at all.

Work best with Win2K as well.

It can depend on a variety of things :) notably memory, voltages, sound cards all this.

Post/send me your specs and we'll see what we can do ;)

I've had mine up to 155FSB, but I dropped it to 150 so I could run the faster memory timing

going from the 4.32's to the 4.33's gave me a boost of 400 pionts in sisoft drive bench thats roughly a 20 % gain, for me anyhow not too shabby

The IDE3.12's gave me a slight improvement on IDE performance. I found them worth installing.

The 4.33's are almost the same drivers as the 4.32's, but with a new installer that corrects problems on XP and 2K.

4.33's work fine for me........;)
