Running the 3.8 Catalyst drivers with a 9600 Pro adapter. System is
Win XP HE on an NF7-S with 1 meg of Mushkin 3200 memory. Had been
running with a 32 AGP aperture size at 8x. After trying to change the
aperture size could no longer boot and couldn't install any other
drivers unless aperture set at 32. What gives?

what were you setting it to 256? I use 128 with all drivers so far no boot problems

You must have installed the latest via 4in1 drivers. They lock the Aperture size
to 32. You might want to roll back to older Via drivers.

Pluvious

is that the hyper 4.51's causing that?

How do you find that out for sure (the current running aperture size)?
Where did you read about the aperture size? I run the new Hyperions
and Sandra says my aperture is still 256....

Hi
The NF7-S M/B is not a Via board! I have the same setup and my aperture size
is 128. Clear the CMOS and reset the Bios to optimum defaults.

The NF7-S does NOT use Via drivers!!!! It has an NForce chipset and I doubt
the Via drivers would even install. If they did install it would most likely
make for a mell of a hess and the system probably would not boot into
Windows afterwards!

The truth is out there. You just have to look in the right places and ask
the right questions.

Pluri talking out his arse again....damn it i should know better...care now to give the link to back up the VIA claim?

We has in who? I'll wait to see what comes of it, rather than rely on an obscure thread in a forum
