We will attempt to keep this thread up to date with the latest links for Motherboard Chipset drivers for the Windows 98-Windows XP platforms.
Where possible we will link to 'reference' drivers as these tend to provide the best cross-platform stability as compared to manufacturers own drivers. Reference drivers may not, however, support manufacturer specific features.
Windows 98/2000/XP/XP64 VIA Hyperion Drivers - For all VIA chispets.
There are 3 possible drivers available for these systems.
Only the Hyperion Pro drivers are suitable for the Windows XP 64 and Windows Server 2003 x64 operating systems. These contain the most recent updates for the latest Motherboard chipsets and so are the recommended choice unless you have a very dated system. These are suitable for ALL VIA chipsets.
The Hyperion 4in1 drivers are suitable for any Windows 32 bit O/S but may not be fully functional for some os the latest Motherboards. These are NOT 64-bit compatible.
The Retro chipset VIA 4in1 drivers are intended only for older VIA chipsets (such as: MVP#, Apollo Pro## series, KT1##, KN1##, KM1##, KT2##, KN2##, KM2##, P4X2##, P4X3##, P4M2##). these resolve some performance issues when using the later Hyperion 4in1 or Hyperion Pro drivers on the listed chipsets.
nVidia N-Force Series Unified Drivers
Official driver download site for all nVidia N-Force chipset based drivers. Please be aware that nVidia do not support Windows 98SE or ME systems with the latest N-Force 4 or newer chipsets.
