VIA Chipset Drivers for Apollo Pro133A

[owensdj]

I have a VIA Apollo Pro133A Chipset PIII mainboard(Tyan S1854 Trinity 400) running Windows 2000 Pro. Do I need to install any of the VIA chipset drivers? It seems like everything has been detected and is working correctly. I don't have an AGP graphics card, but I plan to get one in the future. I don't use any USB devices yet, but the support seems to be there in Win2K already.

It seems like some people say you shouldn't install the VIA chipset drivers for this mainboard unless you're having problems. Other people say you need to install them in any case.

The one part of the driver set you should load is the AGP driver. It has always been debated whether the HD driver is better. Since things seem to be working well, don't do nothin' else.

I normally install the via chipset driver & agp driver, it doesn't cause any problems & in windows me it'll just say found new hardware & auto install, only the via ide drivers cause a problem & slow down performance.
