Need some advice with this old AGP rig?
I am going to install a ATI 9800xt in the system and do not plan on installing the CCC but would rather just install the ati tray tools. I do not do alot of gaming any longer so would you suggest any of the older drivers between 7.4 - 7.10 to be sufficient.
I do not know if the new 8.3`s have the AGP hotfix included in them. Rig Specs: Intel 2.4 B P4 Intel MB D845pece Chipset 845pe 2 gig of patriot pc2700 1 WD 120G HD Antec 480 Watt P.S. Regards,

The hotfix is to resolve problems which occured primarily with NON - Intel chipsets/CPUs. And the hotfix also installs on HD 2400 AGP and newer cards that are still not included in Catalyst. In fact I was using an AIW 9800 AGP (successfully) as recently as Catalyst 8.1 but I moved to a PCIE system. So you should be free to install pretty much whichever driver you would prefer. |
