Full drivers for PCChips M598LMR
I have the specified motherboard and I need new drivers for it. The special property is that everything is built-in (sound, modem, LAN, etc.) I have read user reviews and the like it. Well, so do I. But all the user review have 9x as the OS. I used to have ME and it performed well. Now I have the WinNT interface. I think this board wasn't built for this application. Strange slowdowns are happening. Just using Winamp will bring the system down to it's knees. The chip is an AMD K6-2 450. With that and 192MB RAM, I don't think that's the problem. Task Manager reports that processer usage even when idling is never below 50%. Most of the time, it is maxed out at 100% with the kernel at about 80%. It is extremely aggravating. For awhile, I was running WinXP. Then extreme slowdowns happened during startup, logon, usage, shutdown. Win2k is a little bit better. That is what I'm on now. I want to keep the WinNT interface but this performance is terrible. Btw, the slowdowns start from the first login after Windows Setup. I keep my computer clean and don't have any junk loading. That is not the problem. It has to be the drivers. I have searched far and wide, but with limited Internet usage (I must go to my local library) I haven't found a new driver package. I am asking for more seasoned Internet users to please find and link me to new drivers if they exist. I am sure that no troubleshooting will help. I am very experienced in that matter. For more information on the motherboard goto http://www.pcchips.com.tw/M598LMR.html Please! If you could see how slow my comp is, you would understand. Thank you in advance.

Okay, thanks for the link, but it doesn't have XP drivers. If it does, I didn't find it. As for the 2nd reply, I already have the OEM disk. That's what is giving me trouble. However, now I think that just the video is causing problems so I'll gladly settle for just SiS 530 drivers for WinXP. Thanks.

Thats strange because WINME has native video drivers for the SiS 530 just no good 3D. Check MS HCL and see if there are WINXP drivers for the 530 available.

Alright, here's my reply. I have two different drivers. The OEM on CD (that is for 2k), and the built in XP drivers for a SiS 530. Currently I'm using the OEM drivers. Here's the Windows XP Beta2 HCL entries for Display Adapter:
Silicon Integrated Systems Corp.
SiS 300/305
SiS 630
SiS 630/730
SiS Compatible VGA
SiS630
They didn't have the HCL for the final release of XP yet. Does that help? Thanks, again.

Same video core for 530 and 630 perhaps?

Yeah, the WinXP native drivers says "SiS 530/630". Btw, usual work tasks (Word, Excel and the like) work fine, but when it comes to 3D games, it's slower than a 486. However, in Win9x, it is fine. Need any more info?
