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.

phewww, almost killed my system. it wouldnt boot into windows and I had to use last good configuration then uninstall it from control panel. be careful with it, make sure you read the readme file first.

    • Since win 95 I never used system sound; only the first time to check if the sound card works; after that no annoying click sounds and whistles on every key stroke or every notification. That's why I have my taskbar on top, you'll notice the notification center way sooner at the top right than at the bottom right.
    • 6000MT/s is the sweet spot for DDR5, so then you would be thinking about cache latency, and again CL30 (or lower) is great but don't take my word for it here is a guide I used on my own system with 64GB Kingston Fury CL36 6000 now running at CL30 https://www.patreon.com/posts/low-effort-rank-77403831
    • Here is a list of Samsung Galaxy watches that won't be supported after September 2025 by Sayan Sen Samsung Gear S3 Samsung has confirmed that support for its Tizen-powered smartwatches will officially end in September 2025. The decision marks the final phase of a gradual wind-down process that began last year and reflects the company’s strategic shift toward its Wear OS–powered devices from its own in-house Tizen. If you recall, the South Korean giant began moving away from it back in 2021. The phase-out started on September 30, 2024, when the Galaxy Store stopped offering paid content for Tizen devices. This was followed by another key deadline on May 31, 2025, when new downloads of free Tizen content were disabled. Finally, by the end of September 2025 later this year, users will no longer be able to re-download any previously purchased content via the Galaxy Store. At the time, Samsung had shared the following timeline in an official "Tizen Watch Service Termination Schedule" notice as it wrote: While Samsung has not specified the list of affected wearable devices that will no longer receive Tizen support after September 2025, the following products are likely to be getting the axe: Galaxy Gear Series Samsung Galaxy Gear (Original model) Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 Samsung Galaxy Gear S2 Samsung Gear S3 Classic Samsung Gear S3 Frontier Galaxy Watch Series (Tizen-based) Samsung Galaxy Watch (First Generation / Galaxy Watch 1) Samsung Galaxy Watch Active Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 Thus, devices launched after the Galaxy Watch3, including the Galaxy Watch4 series and subsequent models, are built on Wear OS and remain unaffected by this transition. On the flip side, Samsung is not planning to switch to Google TV for its TVs, as these still come preloaded with its own Tizen OS, and even offer seven years of support.
    • If I'm not mistaken, doesn't almost al servers run apache, wich is linux
