SiS AGP Support Files
The mainboard ships with AGP support files for the board’s
chipset (SiS 5591) for the supported versions of Windows 95 and
for Windows 98. The Windows 95 AGP support file is named SiS
SISGART.VxD. The file for Windows 98 is a miniport driver for
the 5591 chipset. It is named SISPCIMP.PCI. The files are stored
in a SiS 5591 GART VxD directory on the Support Disk. The
SETUP.EXE file in the directory is an auto-installation file that
installs the proper file for the Operating System it detects.
Installation Procedure
You must follow a specific order when installing the support
software for this mainboard if you intend to use the AGP feature.
After ensuring that you have a compatible version of Microsft
Windows and DirectX installed, you must install the SiS IDE Bus
Master driver and the Display driver for the AGP card before you
install the appropriate SiS AGP support file. The installation pro-
cedure should be as follows:
1. Make sure a compatible Operating System is installed, or up-
grade as necessary.
2. Install the supplied SiS IDE Bus Master Driver for Windows
95 and
without restarting
install the Display driver supplied by
your AGP display card manufacturer for the AGP card you
have installed in the system. DO NOT restart the system yet.
3. Run the SETUP.EXE file in the SiS 5591 GART VxD directory
on the Support Disk to automatically install the appropriate
AGP file for your Operating System (either SiS SISGART.VxD
for Windows 95 or SISPCIMP.PCI for Windows 98.)
4. Restart the computer to complete the installation.
