Everyone has been dropping support for 98/ME, including ATI, which only had Catalyst 4.3 drivers available for 98/ME users.

ATI released the Catalyst 4.7 drivers for 98/ME users today.

You can get them here.

Thanks Skuzzy ,

hey any word on a overclock program for the ati cards using 98se ??

I have one for my nvidia card and my very old ati monster card , but i havent found one yet thats compatable with 98se and my 9600 series card .

Ohio, this was specifically for 98 and ME users.

Rosco, I never have delved into overclocking a video card, so I am not a good source of information for this.

Rosco,
Rage3D Tweaker should work. I use it on my A-I-W 9800 Pro with XP but it also claims to work with 98/Me.

i thought that one only worked in the ntfs (w2k xp) format but i'll check back into it .
What i have is a 9550 256mb card which is basically between a 9600 and 9600pro i'd like to oc the core speed just a touch on it

ive been thru all the ati ,amd,pent ,ect boards also and havent found the anser yet.

LOL, oops... oh well..they seem to work "ok" with XP.
Would my frame rates be better if I went back to 4.6?
I WAS running 4.6 on a radeon 9000 Pro. I just bought
a Radeon 9600SE and installed 4.7... This new card, with 4.7,
didn't increase my frame rates over the 9000

Ohio, there are Catalyst 4.7's for XP available too. But the drivers from that link provided by Skuzzy are for 98/ME only. If you had installed the Cat4.7 before you saw this thread, you shouldn't worry.

Rosco,
The 9550 is probably one of the locked cards that have to have a different bios installed to allow overclocking to work. Read up on it in the Rage3D Forum .

i'm not shure if its unlocked or not . its the better powercolour card 9550 256 mb , what ive read so far on it is that it is unlocked . i just havent found a compatable clocking program for it yet . or any bios that im shure will work yet . its only a couple months old since it came out .

May be worth a post on the Rage3D Forum. The guys on there are pretty sharp.

Roscoroo · « **Reply #13 on:** August 03, 2004, 11:28:50 AM »

Perhaps , Ive been watching that forum and the amd one but most of them dont seam to have any ansers yet . and i dont think they've played with my card yet . but then again im paitent .
(its working pritty good in ah2 as is ) and Zero hour just ROCKS with it it .(no overheats )
