OK to use latest VIA 4-in-1's with K7VTA3?

[lizardboy]

On ECS's web site they still have the 441's listed for this mobo, any reason I shouldn't use the 451's from viaarena?

As long as I'm asking, any recommended order to install the drivers?

I installed the latest Hyperion 4.51 drivers on my aging VIA KT266A board in safe mode,had no problems,been excellent on stability with WinXP.


Are you doing a clean install of OS and installing the drivers or just upgrading them?IF you are just upgrading them then do it in safe mode,if it`s a fresh install of OS like XP,I always install them right after OS.

Fresh install, brand-new build for a friend with the Fry's $40 ECS/Duron combo from a few weeks ago.
