Epox 8K7A: Via 4in1 and Bios choices....

[chaosdriven]

Hi All,

I have the Epox and am very happy with it, having installed only the drivers that came on the provided installation disc.

I've seen some discussions referring to the installation of Via 4in1 drivers.
Which version is best (and what subcomponent to install), and does doing so really offer any benefit?

Same questions for various bios versions for this board.
Any comments are kindly appreciated.

well i maybe wrong on this, but is it really smart to install VIA drivers on a board that uses the AMD chipset?
just a thought....

Well, that is exactly the question I have. I've seen other posts suggesting installation of the 4in1 drivers on this board since it does have the via southbridge.

I installed all the 4-in1 drivers EXCEPT the AGP driver. Use the AMD AGP drivers instead.

yes it does have a amd chipset but via handles you bus mastering and some other functions so installing them and putting in the amd agp drivers is a good bet thats what i did. and i have no problems
