Older VIA motherboard question (for k6-2 cpu) & 4 in 1 drivers

[birddog]

I do the clean up & repair of donated computers to my sisters school. Someone has just donated a Comcrap system that has a VIA chipset & K6-2 CPU. I have never worked on any VIA chipsets besides the 133a & KT133. After I do a clean win98se install, do I need to use the 4 in 1 drivers for these older socket 7 boards (or are the 4 in 1's for the newer boards also)?

I installed them for my K6-2 system. I don't know if it helped, but the system still runs

thanks, I think they are needed, I just don't want to install them & have them do harm (and make me reload everything over again).

Yes they are for all Via boards.

Some PCI winmodem won't work without the VIA 4in1. Install them.

I've mvp3 mb, I don't install 4in1, the ide driver causes problem, using the one from win9x gives no problem at all.
