I have a Radeon 8500 Video Card. I have tried to update the drivers, the driver I have is 6.14.10.6517 dated 2/22/05. I have went to the ATI webpage, I have searched Google but can't find an update. I downloaded Driver Detector and it says I need to update it.
Does anyone know where I can find a more up to date driver for this card?

Thanks

Franki,

Thanks, when I go to that page I click on Windows XP Pro, then it goes to a site that list the following:
RADEON
Display Drivers and Software for RADEON Products

Catalyst 6.3 Windows XP - Driver Download

ATI Multimedia Center 9.13

HYDRAVISION - For RADEON and Mobile ATI Products

Catalyst Crew Feedback

Which one do I need?

Catalyst is the softare package with the drivers as well. In other words, you get all those nifty settings adjustments and profile set up gizmos as well as the driver. I recommend just getting the driver if you are running less than 512 MB RAM as you will see signifigant speed reduction as your system attempts to compensate...even more so than running XP Pro SP2 with say only 256 MB RAM.

ATI Multimedia is another software pack and isn't necessary unless you prefer to run movies and videos through ATI software...that's really all it is.

Hydravision is only for multiple monitor setups. If you only use one monitor, hydravision is unnecessary.

When you buy a new card and use the cd install, you will find it automatically installs all 3 of these (or more likely the older version of catalyst...which I can't remember it's name right now) in one go.

This sucks....
