"1.1 What is this patch?
This is a driver for Windows. It is intended to stabilize computers that
have {VIA} chipsets.
1.2 Why do I need this patch? Do I need it at all?
If your computer has any VIA chipset made between 1997 and 2001, and if
your computer has any of the following problems, then you might need
this driver.
* Files copied from one IDE hard disk drive to another are corrupted
* The computer stops ("freezes", "hangs", "locks up"), or makes
unusual noises when playing sounds, especially to a {Creative}-brand
sound card
* The computer stops, or files are corrupted, when copying to or from
an IDE DVD, CDROM, or CDRW drive
* Sounds played by the computer are distorted or have a "crackling"
noise, especially sounds from a Creative-brand or Aureal-brand sound
card
* The computer stops when playing 3D graphics or games, especially on
an ATI Radeon series video card
If you have none of these problems, then you do not need this patch.
1.3 What motherboards does this patch support?
There are hundreds of models of motherboard that are supported by this
patch. These motherboards can be found in computer systems made by
Compaq, Gateway, Quantex, and a host of smaller manufacturers. These
motherboards can also be purchased separately.
In order for a motherboard to be supported by this patch, its chipset
must be made by VIA. The "chipset" is the set of supporting chips that
connect the processor (the CPU) to the rest of the hardware. The
important VIA chip can be found near the center of the motherboard and
is approximately 3.5cm (1.4") square and flat, although it is sometimes
covered by a metal heatsink and/or a small fan.
This patch does not support any motherboards whose chipset was made by
other manufacturers. For example, It does not support the AMD 761
chipset, so it does not support any of the following motherboards: Abit
KG7, Epox EP-8K7A, Asus A7M266, Gigabyte GA-7DX or GA-7DXR, PCChips
M810LMR, FIC AD11. (This is an incomplete list.) Many of these
motherboards have a small VIA chip with a part number of VT82C686B, but
that chip is not involved.
1.4 What chipsets does this patch support?
To confirm that your computer has the correct chipset, please refer to
your motherboard manual. As an alternative, you can download and install
{Sisoft Sandra} and examine its "Mainboard Information" screen.
The following tables show the supported chipsets.
Chipsets for Super Socket 7 processors
Model Part # PCI ID
VP2 VT82C595 0595
VP3 VT82C597 0597
MVP3 VT82C598 0598
MVP4 VT82C501 0501
Chipsets for Pentium II and III processors (the "Apollo" series)

KLE133 VT8361 3112
Pentium 4 chipsets
Part # PCI ID
P4X266 3128
As a safety feature, this patch will not modify any non-VIA chipset.
1.5 Which versions of Windows does this patch support?
It supports all versions of Windows 95, 98, Millennium Edition, NT 4.0,
2000, and XP."
