hey rick .............thanks for the reply back but I tried going to downloads and drivers and did a search for it and 6 thousand different ones come up.........I dont have time to sit and scroll thru 6 thousand different ones looking for this chip set for my Latitude C600.........any other help would be niceThat is not totally true, I think?? IIRC you need chipset drivers of some type with Win98/SE to get the full speed out of the IDE bus. Dual FiFo/ BUS Mastering. But W2K and XP certainly do have the correct one included.
Again IIRC the 440BX came out about the same time 98FE came out. Now with 98SE you might not need them. I had a older Dell desktop, Dimension 4100 P3 733, that need chipset drivers with 98SE. Not sure if it was a 440BX board or not.
