This driver supports Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 only.
Legacy Microsoft Operating systems are not supported. This driver will increase performance of ATA hard drives and ATAPI devices (such as CD/DVD/combo drives etc). The driver may be used with any VIA chipset. Further information is contained in a detailed Readme file available from the driver download page. The driver is currently only available in an individual package. It will however, be included in a future release of the VIA Hyperion 4in1 driver package. No system requires the driver to operate - it's an optional extra!
