I just bought an Iwill XA100Plus SS7 mobo this past Friday. I set it up and performed a clean install of Win NT WS 4.0/ SP5. After that I was installed I installed the Ali chipset drivers from the included CD. Well late sunday night I couldn't dial out on the modem. I rebooted and Event Viewer was showing that pretty much everything to do with the PCI bus was not loading and failing. I did a clean install of NT and this time did not load any drivers. So far no problems except my modem connects a little slower than before. Is there something with these drivers that I should not load them or is it that something else caused the crashes. Also 2 more things.One, Does NT support AGP video cards and if so do I need to load the drivers for the AGP prot on the cd. Two, Should I install the ALI drivers in Windows 98Second Edition ( I dual boot between the two)? Thanks for all the help.

Sorry, It was the ATAPI Bus Master Drivers that I installed and had the trouble with.

I cannot answer your question re: NT4 as I've never ran it. I do not believe it supports AGP graphics cards.
As for 98se, install ONLY the ALI chipset patch for the miniport drivers (AGP patch)

Windows NT does support AGP graphics cards, as I have run it on my system which has an AGP card. You do need drivers that are made for Windows NT though...
