exclamation FireGL V5200 question: Can I install X1600-only driver? Also, latest driver 4 V5200??

Hey all, my first post! This board looks awesome!

One question keeps bugging me to which I just cannot seem to find the answer to. I have the ATI MOBILITY FireGL V5200 w/256MB dedicated VRAM, which is "based on" the X1600 ATI MOBILITY Radeon. Is it possible for me to install a driver for JUST the X1600? The X1600's benchmark score in most cases is DOUBLE of what the V5200 generates. I think I would benefit from using my V5200 "as the X1600" for 3D, video playback, and gaming. This is according to a few articles, and benchmark scores I've read.

I looked on ATI's site, and while I can find the drivers, and all kinds of software for the V5200, they do not have anything for the MOBILITY X1600. Instead, ATI points to "your laptop manufacturer's site for support". I'd love to see if there is a difference, which I've been told there is, but with this driver issue, I'm at a loss.

My 2nd question is: What is the latest Vista x64-bit driver for the V5200. It says 12/20/07 on ATI's site, but mine is still from 6/27/07???

Thanks all!!!
