Tom´s Hardware Guide has posted a guide on VIA´s Apollo KX133 Chipset and Windows2000. Here a snippet:



Believe it or not, ´8391´ is the actual correct device number of the CPU-to-AGP-bridge of VIA´s Apollo KX133. ´8598´ is the number of the CPU-to-AGP-bridge of VIA´s good old MVP3 Socket7-chipset! VIA as well as Asus were/are using a trick, which takes advantage of the fact that it doesn´t matter which of VIA´s CPU-to-AGP-bridges is actually being used by a system, since VIA´s AGP-driver is the very same for either of them. As a matter of fact, the Apollo KX133 was NOT implemented into the Windows2000 driver support, despite VIA´s claims on their own website. Instead you have got to make Windows2000 believe that the system is equipped with a MVP3 CPU-to-AGP-bridge, so that it installs and initializes VIA´s AGP-driver ´viaagp.sys´.
