I am now completely confused about which Via chipset driver package to use. I went to Via arena : http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=420&OSID=1&CatID=1070

And read the descriptions for both sets. I have been using the 4 in 1's since I built this computer. Now I am wondering if I shouldn't be using the pro version. I have a soltek K8T Pro939 with a AMD 3500 Winnie. Can anyone help me decide on which set I should use?

Like the page says, 4in1 supports older stuff.
As far as I know Hyperion is just the new name for the same package, and apparantly supports less chipsets. Your board is new, get Hyperion.

The way they word it, it is a bit confusing. I'll try the Hyperion set today. Thanks for the help.

PRO has x64 drivers in it and non Pro does not ;)

I don't run XP 64 so I guess I really don't need to use the Hyperion drivers then.

VIA Hyperion 4in1 drivers are compatible with any VIA chipset. Performance, however, is optimized for the more recent and the latest chipsets. Therefore some users of slightly older or legacy chipsets report that using the older 4.43 drivers they experience a more responsive system.

.... use the Hyperion
