Southbridge driver

New operating systems if they run at all will have to make do with their built in drivers. These drivers haven't been updated for years anyway so new operating systems will already have the most recent drivers built in. If your motherboard uses another brand of southbridge then you'll need to find the drivers for the southbridge and install them for a full update.

Download your driver s , run them, and reboot when you're done. Depending on how you search, your drivers can be anywhere from very easy to find to totally impossible to find. These drivers are old so they don't change anymore.

I'd give you a direct link to your driver but AMD's site redirects it to their "bandwidth leech" page which refuses to allow a download. AMD: service with a snarl. Your best shot for finding the GART driver is to try this page. If that link still works then you'll see your GART driver. And the release notes link actually works rather than being broken as it is on many pages.

If the link doesn't work then go to the main page and try the "Download Drivers" area in the upper right-hand corner. Then under "Operating System" select "Windows Professional". Do that even if you're running another operating system. If you search for it under any other Operating system then you won't find it. Then click "View Results". Download the GART driver and run it. If you're running Windows or XP then the South Bridge Driver on that same page will probably include your southbridge.

The release notes give a list of the supported chips. If your southbridge chip is in the list then download the South Bridge Driver, run it, and reboot. If your southbridge isn't listed or you need Windows ME or older perhaps time to upgrade? AMD's site doesn't seem to have them anymore. If you go searching for chipset drivers for the X, X, or FX on AMD's site then it will return a very short list which doesn't include any drivers.

That's annoying. And after checking through plenty of Catalyst unified drivers I have yet to find one which lists the X, X, or FX as supported in the release notes.

So the only "official" source of chipset drivers for these chipsets appears to be the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard. You can find your motherboard info in CPU-Z just above where it lists your chipset and southbridge. If you run a driver package for the G or GX then it will presumably have the appropriate drivers for your chipset.

I don't have the hardware to test this but it appears to be the case. You don't need to worry about whether to get HD or HD drivers because all the ones in this family share a common driver. Just look for drivers for Radeon HD series and follow the instructions from the next section.

All you need to do is find the southbridge drivers for your chipset. The easiest way to find your driver will work for most but not all people. Start here and search using the "Download Drivers" section in the upper right of the page. Then go to "Operating System" and select yours. Then under "Product Model" select your chipset. Unfortunately, the "Product Model" list only uses the most common name for the chipsets and it doesn't include all chipsets.

But most of you will find your chipset in that list. If yours was listed then click "View Results". If the easy way didn't work for you then you'll have to do the more general search. Start here and look at the "Chipsets" section. If you see your chipset listed there then click it. If not then click "All Chipsets" and then select your chipset from the list which appears under "Product".

Now find the "Catalyst" driver for your operating system. You're not actually going to install a display driver. That's just where they store your chipset driver. Get the latest driver for your operating system. It's the one with the most recent date. If you see a "Legacy" driver, that's an old version of the driver. Click the driver you'd like to try. That will take you to a page which includes all kinds of drivers. You'll find the southbridge driver under "Individual Downloads" or "Additional Downloads".

Download your driver, run it, and reboot. Start here. If you're dealing with an ancient chipset like the or then you'll first need to click "Discontinued Products" at the right of the "Find downloads by product name" section. Under "Select a product family" click "Chipsets". Then under "Select a product name" you'll see a list of chipset names. For older chipsets you'll see some semblance of the full chipset name. For example, the good old Intel is listed as the Intel P. But for newer chipsets you'll just see "3 series" or "4 series".

Those list entries are actually the first digit of the full chipset name. There's lots of them. So if you've got a P45 then you should select the "4 series". Once you've clicked your entry under "Select a product name" you'll be taken to a new page which lists the downloads. Find your operating system under "Select an Operating System" and click it. The driver you're looking for is the "INF update utility". That list will often include older drivers. Menu Menu.
