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!

Just did a quick hardrive test, i had to use HDTach results against Sandra because im not rolling back IDE drivers just to test them in sandra.

HDTach with no VIA Accelerated IDE: Maxtor 80gb 6Y080L0 7200RPM 8mb Cache - Average Read of 48.9 MB/s with an average access time of 14ms

Sandra with Accelerated IDE: Average Read of 51.2 MB/s with an average access time of 8ms

Now i dont know if the access time in HDTach was an anomaly but i ran it a few times and got the same access time. But i ran Sandra a few times and got about the same 8ms results so it does accelerate a bit.

    • I had a G2 and it was a pretty good phone. I was disappointed to see LG exit the smartphone business.
    • Its a good price but the ideapads are pieces of garbage. We bought 3 for employees 2 years back. Within 6 months trackpad issues, screen issues, usb port issues and wifi issues on all machines. Lenovo's customer service basically told us with the ideapads, you are on your own and good luck. Their business computers are really good.
    • >Interestingly, the rings came off without any physical damage to the device. With a HUGE amount of effort. The video OP makes it clear he doesn't think they'd ever come off in normal use.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 may not come with Galaxy S25 Ultra's camera rings by Sagar Naresh Bhavsar When Samsung launched the Galaxy S25 Ultra earlier this year, it remained in the news for its top-of-the-line premium features, but also for a couple of drawbacks. Firstly, it made headlines because Samsung removed the Bluetooth functionality from the S-Pen on the Galaxy S25 Ultra, removing one of the key features: taking remote pictures and videos. But then a jarring issue came to light. The Galaxy S25 Ultra drew attention for its camera rings falling off. Yes, the $1,300 phone featured thick camera rings that were simply glued on top of the cameras. Interestingly, the rings came off without any physical damage to the device. Now, some interesting details about the camera rings on the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold7 have popped up. According to reliable leaker IceUniverse, Samsung was quite keen on keeping the Galaxy S25 Ultra-like camera rings on the upcoming premium Galaxy Z Fold7. However, after facing a strong backlash, the company has supposedly decided to scrap them. In fact, the leaker added that the cheap-looking Saturn rings design was urgently removed from the Galaxy Z Fold7, and instead, the company is bringing back the cleaner look of the Galaxy Z Fold5. Recently, multiple images of the Galaxy Z Fold7 were leaked, which seemingly suggest the same. The foldable is expected to come in three colors: blue, silver, and black. This year's Galaxy Z Fold7 is expected to be much thinner and lighter as compared to last year's foldable. We are just a few days away from the official unveiling. The pre-reserve window is already open, and if you are interested, you can get $50 credit and up to $1,150 additional savings.
    • Loved my LG G6, the build quality was up there with the most expensive flagships. The fingerprint reader on the back made it very comfortable to use.
