From Viaarena (http://www.viaarena.com) :

An updated 4in1 service pack has just been released on the Drivers Page (http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=2) . This includes the new and improved IDE driver version 1.20. It also includes a silent installation of a patch which adjusts a memory setting in BIOS on some VIA Apollo chipsets to ensure stability with the latest video drivers under all Windows Operating Systems.

I recently installed a new Via chipset board so I am fairlt clueless about these 4in1 drivers:)

When the install asks "Install VGA..." it gives 2 options , "Normal mode" or "Turbo mode", which should I choose?

Thanks!

Turbo Mode = enables DMA & AGP 4X
Normal Mode = not sure really but it's slower:D

Installing in "turbo" mode will give your graphics card enhanced speed and performance while "normal" mode offers increased system stability!

My options are : normally install and quickly install.
Is that the same thing as normal and Turbo mode?

Turbo = 4x AGP
Normal = 1x AGP
normal install = choose options
Quick install = Auto, no options

WOOHOO! That's exactly the info I was looking for.

Kept getting 1x AGP in Sandra after installing the 4-in-1 drivers. I remember this post, but couldn't remember exactly what it said. Good thing I was able to find it!
