I haven't seen any drivers for the new ATI       cards but you may check bebits for that as well.       an even easier way to see if the hardware is supported (by a base       install atleast) is to get xbeox live cd and boot it up off that.       http://www.bebits.com/app/3225              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
