Best G400 MAX drivers for K6-3 systems?
What are the fastest and/or most stable drivers to use with a K6-3 or K6-2+ rig on VIA MVP3 chipsets?

Most folks around here say the 5.41's are the most stable for SS7. Several texturing problems and other glitches in the 5.5x series.
The PD6 betas were working fine on my k63 400 on an old soyo board before I upgraded last month to an Athlon.Greebe's juiced up Athlon @750 on an MSI Irongate Based M/B Marvel G200 TV with HW/DVD Daughtercard,

PD Beta 6 is running stable on both my K6-3 and K6-2 VIA systems.

Hey mynx, are you using the PD Beta 6 with your RR-G? I didn't know those drivers worked with the RR-G. If so, what RR-G drivers are you using? Thanks.Comment

Hella:
The latest Vid Tools worked with the 6.x betas when they were loaded on my machine.

The latest video tools 1.54. The only problem is YUY2 won't work. I would rather have a stable system and will suffer without the YUY2.Mine: Epox EP-8KTA3, Matrox G400 32mb DH + RRG, Athlon 1.2/266, 256mb, WD 30gb ATA100, Pio 32x CDROM, Adaptec 2940U2W, WD 18.3GB 10k U2W, Yamaha CDRW4416, Pio DVD-303, Scsi Zip 100, Seagate 10/20 Gb tape, SBlive platinum, Linksys 10/100 nic, HP 712c printer, HP 6200 scanner, Linksys 4port cable router, Linksys 2port print server/switch

If you want pure speed, use the 5.41 drivers together with MGA Tweak. I can get frame rates about 15% higher than with any other drivers. The drawback is that your favorite game might not run with them. Give them a try first. (K6-3@450/G200 and 3dMark99 = 2500)
If you want the most compatible drivers, use the 6.01 drivers. You can not overclock them, but they do seem to work with more different games than anything else. For some reason, none of the overclock programs can get more than about a 3% increase in frame rates with these drivers. (K6-3@450/G200 and 3dMark99 = 2200)
But try them both - your milage may vary.
