VIA Win2K/XP KPLE driver 3137

VIA chipset drivers must be installed on a system with KL133, KLE133, PLE133 or MVP4 chipset, as well as a KPLE driver for integrated graphics support. VIA chipset drivers can be found by selecting your operating system and then the "VIA Chipset or Platform drivers" option.

Please note that this driver package is for KL133 chipsets featuring the VT8365 North Bridge. The KL133 chipset may, however, feature the VT8364 North Bridge. A KL133 chipset featuring the VT8364 North Bridge requires a ProSavage driver, not a KPLE driver. If you are not sure what North Bridge your KL133 chipset features, please check your motherboard manual or your motherboard manufacturer�s web site.

Microsoft changed their requirements to a minimum frame buffer of 16MB, however KPLE's maximum frame buffer is 8MB. Therefore, KPLE drivers can no longer fulfill the requirements to get Microsoft's logo. The last KPLE drivers to receive the Microsoft logo are still available on VIA Arena. They are an archived driver.

VIA may continue to update features etc of the KPLE drivers and release new versions of the drivers, without the Microsoft logo. Such drivers will present the user with an error message at the beginning of the installation procedure, notifying the user that the driver has not passed Windows logo testing. Users are advised to choose "Continue anyway" as the drivers will have passed stringent internal testing from VIA and despite the fact that they do not have the Microsoft logo, they may contain updates that are important to your system and are therefore better to use than the older drivers.
