These new BETA IDE drivers from VIA are optimized for use on the new P4X and KT, as well as the 233CF ATA133 southbridge. These are currently not included in any 4-1 service pack and may improve previous IDE problems on VIA chipsets also.

According to the latest official figures, 43% of all statistics are totally worthless..

Or you could get a friend with Windows XP to rip the VIA IDE drivers from there, since they are about a gajillion times better than the shit, crap, retard, braindead drivers that VIA continues to distribute.

i thought the Microsoft drivers would just be drivers from via that have undergone certification at micrsoft test testlabs?

From experiance I've found that Via drivers tend to create more problems than they solve.
I tend therefore to use Microsofts which seem a lot more stable.

Sorry folks. I was hunting for a solution to a specific problem, and decided to brave the VIA IDE drivers. After all, they're BRAND SPANKIN' NEW, right? Newer than the MS drivers which haven't changed for a couple months now due to RC testing on WinXP? Right? RIGHT?
Well, after watching blue screens pop up, my latency increase, peer concurrency shot to hell, and one hard drive get corrupted... I find it safe to say that VIA's software department should all die a horrible ****ing death.

No no, it was the VIA approved non-beta 4-in-1 IDE drivers.

I once by mistake installed the VIA IDE Win2k busmaster driver of the 4.32 4in1 package and was not able to burn one single CD with them. HD performance was deteriorated as well.
I then uninstalled the f*cking thing and since then everything is nice again. I don't have ANY problems at all, not performance-wise, not stability-wise and not data integrity-wise with the drivers built-in in Win2k, SO WHY CHANGE IT?!?! (I know, "because it's new")

Yeah,
In I installed the IDE drivers from 4.32 in w2k,
Rebooted,
Tested, no performeance change...
Removed them installed the standard W2k ones.
Because I "Knew" that they would corrupt my HDD's....
Because at that point I was as Paranoid as everyone else...
If there's artificial intelligence, there's bound to be some artificial stupidity.
