I've had a pretty rough day getting this new ATI Radeon 9600 Pro
installed and get it cooperating with me, it seems like whenever I try
the latest 3.7 catalysts I get a ton of errors (AGP related I think) on
rebooting.
So I've got these drivers that were on the CD:
Driver Date: 3/20/2003
Driver Version: 6.14.1.6307
What are these 3.4, 3.5? I don't see anything in the driver version
that looks like those numbers.

Thanks for the link, I must have missed that when I was looking around
the site.
I just found the answer to my biggest problem, I was getting a bunch of
"delayed write failed" errors when booting up after loading the drivers,
perhaps this is common knowledge but it seems that the ATI drivers have
a problem if you have: "Memory usage set to Adjust for best performance
of: System cache", in the advanced performance settings of WinXP system
properties.

Maybe you ATI folks all new that but I'm just an ignant former nVidiot.

Now I got to find out if I can overclock this thing.

Is there any consensus on the drivers, help a newbie out, now that I've
got past this first hillock, I'm planning on going ahead and installing
the 3.7s.

As a general rule more problems get fixed with later versions.

Try the 3.7s, if you have any problems, check the forums/newsgroups to see
if older versions of the driver might work.

I still wonder why ATI doesn't list the CAT 3.7s on that page?

Maybe because the 3.7's are the current drivers and the page is for
previous drivers?
