News: Via 4in1 bug in systems with 1+ GB RAM and ATI cards

J

Jimmy S.

Via has apologized " for any problems that people have experienced
with the Hyperion 4in1 4.50 drivers."


"After detailed investigation of the issues that have been reported, we
have found that they only occur with systems configured with 1GB or
more of memory and an ATI graphics card where the AGP aperture
has been set above 32MB."

"We are currently working on a new revision of the driver that changes
the default size of the AGP aperture to 32MB."

You can install a different version of your VIA chipset drivers if you
are affected by this. Visit http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=2

That's right Frenchy,

They pulled the 4.50 driver until they can correct the issue. ;-)

Thanks for the post Frenchy. It's appreciated. :)

Yup. They released the 4.51's with a caveat to not update
drivers unless your system is unstable. I can't get the release
notes to open in iexplorer though. The site must be busy. ;-)

Site sure was busy. My ADSL Line was crawling at about 3 kb/s for the download, instead of
300

Installed it and all seems fine

Hi, that's expected. ;-) The problems occurred with version
4.50 and systems with over 1 Gig of RAM. If you're running
fine, there's no need for you to update to the 4.51 drivers.
