Help with upgrade from ATI 8500 le to 9500 Pro

[cdh55]

I have an ATI 8500 64meg Le card and I want to upgrade to an 9500
Pro...I am using Catalyst 3.2 drivers...Any suggestions on what would
be the best way to do this without a lot of problems, and would you
stick with the Catalyst 3.2 drivers or would you use the latest
Catalyst 3.6 drivers...I would appreciate any suggestions to make this
as painless as possible...BTW I am running Win XP home...

Thanks in advance

Doug

Personally I would completely uninstall all the old drivers and card and
then do a fresh install of the new card and the 3.6 drivers. Of course
I don't have any experience with the 3.2 drivers, but I can't see why
you wouldn't want to update to the newest set.

I'd second that, Matt.
