Our bro's over at Station-Drivers send word that they've snagged a Beta set of ATi Catalyst 5.11 (8.182) BETA drivers for for Windows 2000/Xp ! Dated 07/10/2005

This ForceWare driver supports a limited number of OEM notebook PCs. Currently, this driver will work with GeForce G0 7800 GTX notebooks.

The Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility installs to the target system the Windows* INF files that outline to the operating system how the chipset components will be configured. This is needed for the proper functioning of the following features:

We would like to inform you that the following files have been added into the ARP Downloads Hub.

Realtek released version 3.78 driver for their ALC AC97 audio chipsets. The driver supports all ALC series audio chipsets from ALC100 up to ALC850 mainly used as onboard sound on various motherboards.

While experimenting with some new ATI drivers, we managed to get performance out of the Radeon X1800XL.

It's that time again! The folks over at the ATI HQ in Canada have just released a new set of Catalyst drivers for users of Radeon graphics cards. In our usual fashion we compare the latest Catalyst 5.10 (October 2005) drivers against the previous release Catalyst 5.9 to see what has changed.

Today ATI released Catalyst 5.10 for your download pleasure.

The Catalyst? software suite 5.10 introduces support for ATI CrossFire?. ATI CrossFire? allows for multiple Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) to be placed within a single PC, providing superior gaming performance.

There are three main differences between a VIA Hyperion 4in1 driver package and a VIA HyperionPro package, detailed below. All other recommendations remain.

TweaksRUs has finally released their modded version of nVidia's Forceware 81.84; the XTreme-G 81.84.v2 drivers.

Intel Matrix Storage Technology includes support for Serial ATA Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI), providing advanced features such as native command queuing, hot plug, and power management. Native command queuing, when paired with capable hard disk drives, increases storage performance on random workloads by allowing the drive to internally optimize the order of commands. This provides increased performance for today's multi tasking environments and demanding applications.

A couple of days ago nVidia released their much talked about ForceWare Release 80 graphics card driver to the world. The new nVidia ForceWare 81.84 BETA drivers offer such things as performance optimizations when using Dual-Core processors, mixed vendor support for SLI and Black and White 2 support. We examine the drivers in our typical fashion against the last official release driver, ForceWare 78.01. Do the new drivers give some more punch to nVidia?s current line-up of GPU?s? Read on for the answers!

Below are two views of the two 6600GT cards we got to work in SLI mode. It is nice that we can fit in the SLI bridge. The cards used are Gigabyte's and Pixeview's 6600GT.

It seems as the time for the new ForceWare 80 series has come. One 80er Beta ForceWare after the other finds its way into the world wide web. The word is that the new 80 series produce a performance increase up to 20% and some new features. But are these new features already integrated into the Beta drivers? This we want to find out in our actual driver-comaparison. We compared the 81.26 beta and 80.40 beta with the official ForceWare 78.01 WHQL. How the drivers performened on our Geforce 7800 GT you can read in our driver comparison.

mobilenvidia and Rewt were playing with FW 81.28 and discovered the new Control panel. This will probably become the replacement Control Panel, sometime in the 80's drivers.
