ATI (Under AMD) - Has Lost Perspective - "Of Who Their Clients Are" !!!
I purchased an ATI 'All-In-Wonder' Rage 128 Pro (about 5 years ago),
because "ATI Technologies" - where the 'Masters' (at the ART) of giving a Great TV / PVR capability. - And still creating a reasonable "Gaming" video card AS WELL !!! Now that AMD has taken over the 'Controls' ; They are still 'Offering' (antiquated) Windows 98 & ME "Update" drivers - but nothing for the 'Windows 2000 Professional' market. Has AMD "LOST SIGHT" of ATI's greatest 'Markettable' User Group ??? [ The 'Original' Home & Office Video DVR Market.] - that 'Built -Up' ATI's "Markettability" - in the first place. ??? Has EVERYONE FORGOTTEN, that they where the FIRST development team to create a 'viably' - "Text To Words" (Microsoft Word) converter ??? 8- ( |

You are part of the minority still living in the dark ages. If every company wasted time & resources on updating drivers and such for outdated OS's, then they don't get to spend as much of it on producing new, bigger & better hardware. Obviously this is just an AMD bashing post from some Intel loving knob. Get over it and live with it or try updating your system like most people in the real world. Who cares what they first invented, live for the future, not for the past! |

When was that, and why should that matter now, halfway through the year 2007? Who was the first to provide home computers for less than $300? It was Commodore with the C64, and nobody gives a **** about that these days either. What are you, Amish, or a caveman? |

Well, you bought an already outdated card in 2002. The original Radeon had long since been released, and the excellent 8500 Pro came out in the fall of 2002. The Rage 128 Pro was introduced in 1998. So what do you expect. It was a crappy 3D card in by the standards of 2002, when the 4200 series and 8500 series reigned the roost. It was crappy for 3D compared to the original Radeon 7000 series. |

Who uses windows 2000 in this day and age anyway? You are part of the minority still living in the dark ages. Windows2k is WindowsXP. The real question is: why would you buy the same operating system with a lock on it's installation routine that you have to phone up billy and ask permission to reload it on your new hardware ? Just use the winXp drivers they'll work for win2k. How old are you twerps ? 12 ? |

I have a copy of windows 2k pro, and it is more like an advanced version of Windows ME to me...it is completely different to XP! I have owned Windows 95, 98, Me, 2k, XP and now vista...it's called moving with the times....and now with software requiring DirectX 10 you have to have the latest os! I guess that you still run win 98 or linux on your old 486 DX-2 66....hey at least you don't have to validate your copy....i supose you don't have to do much, cos old windows don't have **** all in them! How old are you gramps ? 67 ? |

One every two years? Why?? That's not moving with the times that's being Microsoft's dream customer - must have the latest (and not so greatest). 95, 98SE and then XP were fine for me. Vista is not required now and will not be for another year or three ...and which software requires DX10 FFS?? For the OP XP drivers should work however if you haven't changed your card or your OS why do you want to update drivers? |
