Version: Realtek AC'97 WDM Driver (Windows 98/Me/2000/XP/2003) A3.89 (06/07/2006)
"Newer Version A3.90 is on the Realtek website"
Pros: Nice upgrade for my Averatec 6130HS-20 Laptop.
I had a much older version that seemed to slow my computer down. Since I installed the A3.90 version, the slowness has stopped.
Don't upgrade for the sake of it. Know first what issues the upgrades fix, and if they apply to your system. Then, and only then should you upgrade, otherwise leave well enough alone.
Also, make sure when you upgrade, you're using the correct software for your system and read the install instructions. I know people applying this upgrade to their system and they do not even have the Realtek ALC65x chip.
One last point, No software is 100% compatible for all systems. So before you install any software, create a restore point or make a back-up. No one is to blame but yourself, if you don't!
Cons: None at this time.
