P4S533: What Drivers for XP?

[Olias]

I just ordered a P4S533 with onboard LAN and was wondering if I will need all of the following drivers for Windows XP?

- SiS PCI Lan Driver V1.14
- SiS AGP WHQL Drivers V1.09
- C-Media CMI8738/C3DX Audio Driver V2.75a
- SiS Bus Master PCI IDE Driver V1.0

TIA, Olias

Youll need those, Ive installed all of them on my P4S533/XP.
Windows update will update the LAN and CMedia drivers..mine did

I did not load one driver off of the cd. Win XP loaded everything I needed, and then XP update downloaded the newest lan driver. I am not using onboard sound, but I would bet it needs to loaded off the cd.

all you need is the AGP driver from SIS. DO NOT INSTALL THE IDE drivers they suck and degrade performance.

Really? not the IDE driver?

I have to agree about the IDE driver. I let XP install the updated drivers and I installed the IDE drivers myself...performance really sucked. Uninstalling the drivers didn't help too much so I had to start all over. The second time around I left out the IDE drivers and now I have the best-running setup of any computer I've ever built/used.

Do not install the IDE drivers. My burner stopped burning at the highest speed. The buffer kept dropping. I un-installed the IDE drivers. The burner started burning at the highest speed. All you need is the AGP drivers.
