From: Ron Marraccini on
I have an AIW 9800 Pro (agp 8x) on my XP SP2 system and am currently using
older ATI drivers
(6.14) which appear to do fine for my usage (light gaming only, mostly
business and web apps.)

The MS update site already asks me if I want to use their updated drivers
and I figure this will happen
again when I put SP3 on.

Assuming no issues w/ the SP3 update,
should I stick w/ the current ATI drivers or is their any advantage to
using newer ATI or the MS drivers before (or after) the update?

Thanks

NEVER allow Windows Update to update your existing video drivers with their
own. Modify your Auotmatic Update settings so that it only allows secirity
and critical updates automatically.
