I read this over at VIA's FAQ section regarding the VIA Hyperion or HyperionPro drivers in regards to the AGP driver.
This is what the FAQ said:
With WinXP SP2, an AGP driver from Microsoft will be used, not the VIA AGP driver in the Hyperion and HyperionPro packages. The date shown in Device Manager is taken from the INF file and not from the driver binary. The driver binary used is actually from 2004, not 2001. For experienced users, if you want to check, in Device Manager >CPU to AGP controller > Driver > Driver Details, note the file name. If you then find the file name in the Windows/system32/drivers directory you will be able to see the actual "age" of the driver in the properties of the file.
Why is the VIA driver is not being used, anyone know?
THANKS
