SIS drivers for linux

Mel
For SIS drivers try. There are three ways to search. 'Product name' and 'catagory' don't seem to work correctly. Use 'search' but don't type the driver name or you will probably get zero results. Type audio FOR AUDIO, video FOR VIDEO ,ETC.

Caution with XP defrag

Mel
Defrag tools look for fragmented blocks or files but not necessarily where they are located on the drive. Before resizing,defrag your partitions even if a fragmentation check says it doesn't need to be defraged.
