VIA chipset bug workaround
Posted by Philipp Esselbach on: 04/14/2001 11:55 AM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]
VIA Hardware has posted a patch for the VIA chipset bug.
Yesterday, The Register reported on a VIA chipset bug that effects mostly 686B southbridge users with SoundBlaster Live sound cards. This is a problem you readers uncovered last month in our forums, and VIA has officially acknowledged the bug.
Well, already we have a work-around for you guys. This is truly a testament to the ingenuity of you, the readers, as this problem has been discovered and solved completely by VIA users at this point. VIA will supposedly have a BIOS patch later next week, but we are proud to bring you George´s PCI latency patch now.
Keep in mind that it has only been tested on a limited number of configurations, but it should work under both NT/2K and 9X. Also, please treat it as BETA, and install at your own risk. Read the included readme for more information.
