Is it faster than the Windows XP one? What about stability? Abit kr7a raid ati radeon 7500

I figured so far that it needs to be installed in turbo mode for AGP 4x...

Any wisdom you have to share?

I am in the same boat as you too, plus I wanna know which VIA IDE BusMaster driver is better. I have a Athlon Thunderbird 1.2Ghz, VisionTek GeForce3 Ti200 and a IBM 60GXP 40GB HDD and the scores that I get in SiSoftware's Sandra benchmark tool for my hard drive are horrible. I am getting like 15mb/s as opposed to the 25mb/s that I see on reviews of the exact same hard drive. Is there something I am missing or doing wrong? I am using a ATA100 cable and it is running at ATA100 speed. Any solutions?

I have been using the VIA AGP 4.10 driver and it works flawlessly. I have read that it has better performance than the 4-in-1 AGP driver and the Windows XP included driver and on top of that the AGP Driver in the VIA 4-in-1 4.37(a) pack is WHQL certified and to get WHQL certification some things have to be toned down and/or disabled to ensure compatibility rather than performance. You can read on there site that the 4.10 isnt WHQL certified and the driver in the 4-in-1 4.37(a) I think is 4.05. So its newer than the 4-in-1's and I read also newer than the Windows XP driver however because it wasnt WHQL certified wasn't included in Windows XP.
