Support for boards with an ATI chipset

Abit Driver Help

Postby eyeonthewall » Sun Dec 07, 2008 10:09 pm

Hey I have recently set up my old computer in the living room with the Abit AT8 32X motherboard. After loading up the Abit Driver CD, I found everything on there except the chipset driver! I have no idea how that happened although the disk does have some minor scratches.

I tried looking online, but couldn't find it anywhere. With the Abit site down, I have no idea what to do now.
If anyone has it here, or knows where to get it, can you please upload it somewhere and provide a link?
Thank you.

Recheck the CD, the drivers have to be there....you should not have installed any other drivers withoutinstalling the chipset first.

The AMD / ATI website is hard to navigate....good luck.

Thanks a lot guys.

I have Windows XP SP3 but I'm fairly certain the drivers aren't pre installed. I'll keep looking. thanks again.

He's got a Crossfire ATI board. I already posted the link to his Southbridge above your post? :?



The Abit link only has SATA drivers (unless you go looking) and the Ati link has the video drivers, I posted the southbridge drivers he was looking for as he asked. :roll: :oops:

The south bridge chip on his board is ULI1575 so its function is for AGP, AUDIO, FIR, IDE, IEEE1394, IRQ MINIPORT, LAN, MEMORY STICK, SATA, SD, USB, nvidia makes the chip so it also makes the drivers for that chip, the Ati southbridge chip driver is for Ati SB chip.

We have to wait for Eyeonthewall to let us know how things are going as you and I have not got this board.
;) :shock:

I don't even have this board and I'm confused. If it has an ATI south bridge, then what's the ULi doing in there? :? Nvidia bought ULi so they would have the drivers for whatever the hell that item is. And I wouldn't put it past ATI to screw up a driver here and there :lol: Not that they ever do that. Chris.
1)Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3, FX4100 Bulldozer, 8Gb G Skill Sniper 1866, EVGA GTX560Ti, 2x 500Gb SATA II, DVDRW, Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit RTM
2)stupid board died already *pfffftttt*
3) AX78, Phenom 9600, 2Gb OZC PC6400, EVGA 9800GTX, CDRW/DVD, CM CP600PCAR 600W, XP Pro Sp2

Chris is doesn't have an Ati southbridge.

The AT8 32X is based on the ATi RD580 chipset also know as the Radeon Xpress 3200. It therefore supports two full 16x PEG slots rather than its RD480 predecessor, which like the nForce 4 SLI, splits a single 16x PEG lane into two 8x PEG lanes when running with dual video cards. As with other enthusiast grade boards, the AT8 32X uses a ULi M1575 Southbridge, sidestepping some of the limitations of ATi’s own Southbridge and bringing SATA II RAID and fast USB 2.0 performance to the platform.

No, 32 bit Windows XP has the South Bridge Driver as well. You just have to click "Individual driver download packages and Avivo™" under Optional Downloads. I installed it with no luck however.
