No, don't laugh. I am still using my Sapphire Radeon8500LE 128MB vid card
with my Palomino2100+ cpu.
Do the newer drivers really help, and not screw up DOS games (DukeNukem3D,
Doom,etc)?
I play Q3 online and sometimes UT.
I presently have the 03.4 Catalyst Drivers.
Any recommended drivers for my System?
Thanks

I use a Sapphire ATI 9100 128MB, which is really just a renamed 8500LE.
Don't use the 3.8 drivers, still a few minor bugs. 3.7 works great for me.
I would assume ATI stopped doing any changes to drivers for DOS
support/performance.
So no performance differences ??? (for DOS) between 3.4, 3.7 or 3.8
