Greetings Lurkers!
I have fairly recently found out about these new ATI drivers, and have decided to share this information. These new beta drivers entitled ATI Catalyst Beta 8.07 address several issues with ATI Radeon AGP cards. First off, this isn't really an issue so to speak but these drivers give a decent increase in performance. I have read several posts on various forums stating as much as a 1000 point increase in 3dMark05 :blink:. This comes very close to leveling the field between the newest cards from ATI and Nvidia. Secondly: These drivers fix a memory allocation problem on ATI cards with 256MB of memory therefor increasing performance that much more. You can read some about this new driver as well as download it from here. The driver name should change to Catalyst 4.10 in a couple of days when the new form of this driver is supposed to be released. Happy gaming Lurkers ;)
