Thanks Oldfart. From what I read here and here http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/inf/install.htm and here http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/inf/inf.htm I dont need to install the inf utility, only the IAA since I am using XP SP1. Would this be correct then? Philster.

Hey thanks Duvie! I forgot to ask the obvious...do they really help being XP SP1 is pretty current? and is there anything else chipset related that should be installed. I'm still stuck on VIA and all the drivers that I used to have install right after the OS had gone in. Philster.

I'm building a new P4 system this week with ATA-100 drives on an 850E board and wondered if these drivers should be installed after installing WinXP SP1? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Philster.

:disgust: Ain't that the truth. When I spoke to them last night they had nothing to offer other than the fact that it must be MS as all other sites were working. Hey....thanks again. Philster.

:)Indeed you are a Diamond Member! Worked like a charm...thank you very much. Now answer me this! if you will....why did this suddenly stop working? I've never had to disable the auto detect settings before today! Talk to you soon. Philster

I've been having difficulty getting the XP update portal to load. I was unable to access it since last Thursday and just this am managed to get it to scan my PC. It found all the updates etc and after installing the critical ones first (sucessfully) it wouldn't re-scan after rebooting. I know...

Thanks Justin for the info. The way I have been doing it now in XP is unpack the drivers and then point XP to that file to update them. Do you see any problem with doing it that way? Phil.

Hi gang, can anyone give me some tips as to the best way to install new video drivers for a GeForce 4 card in Windows XP. I am currently using a GeForce 2 card and would like to get the best install I can. Thanks. Philster

;)Well it would indeed appear to be a PSU issue. I removed the Enermax and re-installed my Sparkle Power 400w PSU and the system boots fine at 140 FSB with the agressive ram timings: System Performance: Turbo DRAM Clock: 133MHZ DRAM Timing: Manual SDRAM Cycle Length: 2 Bank Interleave: 4...

:Q Okay now I'm really confused! I upped my FSB to 140 and the system will not boot. It simply re-boots on it's own with the option for safe mode etc. I tried upping the Vcore and Vdimm a bit and it made no difference. I then re-set the FSB back to 133 and it wouldn't boot until I set my...

Thanks Rusty! did you use WCPRedit to enable 4-way interleaving or just enable it via the bios? I too am using the same type and amount of ram with the turbo settings. Looking forward to hearing from you on the 4-way enabling. Philster

:confused: Thanks for the responses (Philster and Philibuster are the same person). My confusion is that I know the Intel I815 chipset when OC above 140FSB showed memory throughput losses unless a special registar tweak was applied for this chipset on the Asus CUSL2 board. I am running the...

;)Thanks everyone for your input. It's much appreciated. Funny thing though. When I installed the 4.35's, mine only installed the .inf driver. The PCI/IDE driver must be on one of the later release's. When I bench test this machine it comes up with excellent results. Take care gang...

:)hey gang, just wondered what VIA drivers you folks are using these days. I'm using the 4.35's right now and noticed VIA have released version 4.37a. Any input would be really appreciated. Thanks a bunch everyone. Philster

Thanks Boonesmi, is MM5 really all that good? I do have it but wanted an experts opinion. Philster
