Via Chipset problems

[confus-ed]

Having trouble with your VIA chipset and device management? If you have an ATX board try enabling APCI either run setup again adding the switches "/p j" or read this article http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q195/2/18.ASP?LNG=ENG&SA=ALLKB

This gives you much better control over IRQs and resource allocations, you will need to understand how to access BIOS and change options in that however

Some good information you found there confus-ed. However, it's just safer to disable the apci and any other apm features in the bios settings. That's what I do with every customer computer builds I do. They can use Win 98's own power saving settings without any conflicts between the bios's settings and win98's, except they should be disabled if CD-Burning is involved.

p.s. I also use the latest patches from www.viatech.com (http://www.viatech.com) for any fixes or performance increases when using motherboards with a via chipset in them in customer's builds.
