New VIA Hyperion 4in1 drivers, version 4.47 released

Advertisement (Why?)

VIA Hyperion drivers are suitable for any VIA chipset and all Microsoft Windows Operating Systems (Win95/98/98SE). If you are looking for VIA 4in1 drivers, these are the drivers you are looking for. The "Hyperion" name was added to the 4in1 driver set name in December 2002. This is the third release with the Hyperion name. You can find more information here.

Note: Win95/98/98SE are now relatively old operating systems, and drivers are no longer optimized for those operating systems. Many users of VIA chipsets who run Win95/98/98SE report that using an older version, such as VIA 4in1 version 4.35, they experience a more responsive system.

Taking place two years after Yuna's fateful journey to defeat Sin, the once chaotic world of Spira has gone through a massive transformation, entering a period of "Eternal Calm". The people of Spira now shun the teachings of Yevon and have opened their arms to former foes, the Al Bhed and the use of machina. The Machine Faction aims to propagate the use of machina in Spira, going as far as renaming "machina" to "machines" to remove the stigma. However, even with the peaceful life they now lived, there is emptiness in Yuna's heart that is keeping her from moving on as the others have.

One day, Yuna obtains a mystical sphere that contains imagery of what might be the Blitzball player she thought was gone forever. Although Yuna isn't certain that it is him or if he is even alive, she's driven to seek him out. Yuna needs closure to their unexpected parting, even if only to find that she will never see him again. So begins her journey, this is Yuna's story.

#1.2 scoult01 on 20 May 2003 - 13:33

I didnt have a version installed on here for the simple reason the last ver fubar'd my pc too, btw, i just had to system restore to yesterday because these drivers fubar'd it too. Although im not entirely sure its just these drivers, my radeon has the infinite loop prob, and i need to get that replaced, its never crashed my windows before though.

via is on a quest to crash (or at least distabilize) your system. Instability is its middle name. Ruined my whole computer, never again shall I buy into via's propaganda!

I find it funny how someone will bash something over one isolated incident. I work on approximately 10,000 computers per year, and I have to say, second only to Intel chipsets, VIA has always been the most stable chips I've seen. Not to start a riot, but my company has fewer defect/unsatisfied returns on VIA motherboards than any other manufacturer. Also, I get much higher benchmark scores with VIA based boards than Nvidia, SiS, or Intel based boards. Just my two cents worth - not meant to start a riot. I understand some people have better luck with some things than others.

To those of you who have problems with the drivers, why can't you just explain what the problems are and try to help instead?? VIA is the best chipset out there and they have done a good job with their drivers so far. We build our computers differently and I find it very strange if the drivers don't fail once in a while. Anyway, since I see that the last ones are unstable, I'll just wait for the next ones. Hope you guys reported your problems in detail to VIA in a mature sense and not only bashing them.
