Asus A7M266 with wrong Chipset

[loppdawg69]

I have the ASUS A7M266. On the box, manual and website they all say it has an AMD 761 chipset, i tried to install drivers but it say no hardware supported. Opened up my machine and there is the VIA chipset. has anyone else heard of this...sounds pretty bizarre to me i can take a shot of it to show you if it sounds peculiar to you also.😕

Well you could of course just look at the chips on the board 😀

I heard once of a baord that used a combination of VIA and AMD chipsets, must have been very confusing to install !!

i did look on the board...just via??

Maybe it's just a printing error, try installing the via drivers

Daft question this, are you sure you have that motherboard and no one has ripped you off ?

mate, this bpoard has a mixed xhip set it has an amd 761 northbridge and a via 686b southbridge. You need to install the agp amd driver and the via 4in 1(but don't install the agp driver)

hope this helps
