It doesn't appear to fix anything
The article doesn't specifically say if Chris Wilson actually fixed anything. From the article:
The GMCH on this pair of chipsets is notoriously incoherent, so the GPU is almost certainly going to hang at some point, though unlikely to hang the system and should automatically disable acceleration (and thence behave identically as if the acceleration was disabled from the start).
But as the article is written, nothing is receiving "support". A currently exiting feature was enabled, nothing more.
(BTW, I hope Wilson is prepared to issue some fixes, even though I don't have one of these chipsets. It would still be a good thing)Last edited by halfmanhalfamazing; 05 August 2012, 07:31 PM.

I recycled all of my 845 systems. I bought an Nvidia card for the only customer I had that used one. It wasn't worth fighting with.
