  • How do I know if my motherboard uses VIA Drivers?

    I have an Asus K7M Slot A motherboard using a AMD K7 Chipset @ 650mhz.

    AMD has its own AGP driver for the K7M.

    Should I be installing VIA 4in1 Drivers?

    Thanks for the help!

    The asus k7m is speciel because it actually uses an AMD 751 Northbridge and a Via 686A Southbridge, thus combining 2 brands into 1 chipset, you should therefore use both via (NOT 4in1) and AMD drivers, I dont know which kind of drivers but you should be able to see that in the mobo's manual, or on the asus webpage.

    I have to go to work now but if you are interested I can look more into this later?

      The K7m utilizes a VIA southbridge chip with the AMD 751 nothbridge Grego. So with that said YES, you need the VIA 4n1's, just don't load the VIA AGP gart drivers. Install the USB, IRQ miniport, and IDE drivers and the AMD AGP driver and you should be fine.
