Yep that is right! Highpoint-Tech has some new driver sets out including the popular HPT370/372 chipsets. There is hope that the new BIOS/driver combo might fix the performance issue we discussed ealier. I already fired an eMail off to ABIT regarding that matter. Okay here goes: Please note that it is advised to use the latest drivers ONLY with the corresponding BIOS version.
HighPoint BIOS updates for motherboard/HPT IDE controller combinations must be obtained from the motherboard manufacturer. HPT 374 controller: - Version 1.2 Win9x/ME
- Version 1.2 WinNT
- Version 1.2 Win2K/XP
- BIOS Version 1.2
- RAID Controller Application 2.2 HPT 370/372 controller: - Version 2.3 Win9x/ME
