   hehehe, you have not heard of via's news lately. It's nice to know that despite the fact that they don't have much products, they are still supporting their old products.

   The last one, 5.04 completely messed up my system. Burnings failed and all grafics above directx 7 failed to work properly. To try these or not...

   I had some horrible run ins with VIA and their drivers in the past. Thats why I avoid VIA based chipsets as often as I can. I have met many people who, like kaleid, upgraded drivers only to find their system crippled.It is nice to see them still releasing driver revisions, and maybe over the years of my keeping them at arms lenghth they have improved. Anyone able to elaborate on this for me? Has VIA's chipsets become more stable and reliable?

   The thing I really despise about chipset drivers is that the makers provide no changelog whatsoever, be it Via or Nvidia...Just saying it's a new version means squat if I don't know what bugs have been fixed (if they even have been, that is). And installing to test isn't going to draw more customers...That being said, I gave these drivers a go on my old and trusty KT133, and had no probs However, be warned that people at ViaArena forums are reporting probs with some chipsets newer than KT333, so it looks as these are geared more towards the most recent Via chipsets.
