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
