The last time they updated it was in 1999 - which makes most of the
tweaks they describe ancient history.

It's been a while since I've had a 600, but I do remember having to
unload/reload the driver on boot for the sound to work correctly,
otherwise sound playback would stutter after playing more than a few
seconds of sound.  Maybe some BIOS revisions or specific models didn't
have the problem.
