S1598 Trinity ATX

with the mere 132MB/s (at 33MHz bus speed) that you get with the PCI
bus.
Q: Does my operating system support AGP?
A: Currently, only Windows 98 and Windows NT 5.0 will have built-in support
for AGP. Some AGP cards require Windows 95 OSR2.1 or a special driver
from Intel. Please check with your graphics vendor for more details.
Q: My AGP Video has an Intel i740 chipset and gives me problems when I plug
it onto this motherboard, why?
A: There is a known incompatibility with the Intel i740 chipset and the VIA
Apollo chipset on the motherboard. In addition, Windows NT 4.0 does not
support Intel's i740 and older chipsets. Nor does it support VIA apollo
chipset. Such a combination will definitely cause a conflict. One solution
to this problem is to install VIA´s AGP driver (AGP driver ver. 2.6 or
later). It is included on the Tyan Driver CD, or you can download it from
Via’s web site at http://www.via.com.tw/drivers/index.htm.
Q: How do I identify Pin #1 of a 3-pin jumper?
A: There should be a small numeral 1 silkscreened on the board in white next
to pin 1. You can also look on the back side of the board, pin 1 is identified
with a square solder footprint.
Q: Does the motherboard support 2X AGP?
A: Yes, the S1598 supports x2 AGP.
Q: What drivers do I install from the CD-ROM provided with the S1598
motherboard?
A: Inside the CD-ROM provided with the Trinity motherboard are Win95,
Win98, and WinNT 4.0 drivers for VIA MVP3 chipset and are located in the
VIA folder.
The "agpvxd" folder will install driver support for AGP video. NOTE: this
driver is for Win95 users only, however, some Win98 users may need to
install this driver who are having conflicts in Device Manager. There are no
drivers for WinNT 4.0
The "Bmide" folder will install driver support for VIA IDE Busmaster.
NOTE: this driver is for Win95 and WinNT 4.0 users. Win98 users normally
DO NOT have to install this driver; Win98 has built in VIA IDE Bustmaster
driver when installed originally. Install only if you are having conflicts or
exclamation marks with Hard disk controllers in Device Manager
