Hi

There seem to be 2 flavours of the ATI catalyst drivers I could install and
I don't understand why or which I should install - help

I have a 9600 series radeon card and want to install drivers for Windows XP
Home


Catalyst® Release 6.9 version notes state

"The Catalyst® software suite is designed to support the following ATI
desktop products:" and "Radeon® 9600 series " is listed

ATI CatalystT Software Suite Version 7.4 notes state

It supports "ATI RadeonT 9600 series"


What's the difference?

Thanks

Pete

go here http://www.ngohq.com/home.php?page=Files&go=cat&dwn_cat_id=18

and download the 6.11 cats - look for the one marked CP - its the official
driver with the old style Control Panel rather than the CCC and uses less
RAM. ATI may produce 12 drivers a year but only a couple are really stable
and worth using. Last years were the 6.3 and 6.11 - dunno about this years
drivers but in any case - there wont be anything in new drivers specifically
for a 9600.

Not gonna make any difference. ATI driver nightmare sucks the big one.
