If you have a Radeon card then you want the Radeon drivers, in the "Radeon Family" section (Family pertaining to the 9500, 9600, 9800, whatever series)

yeah theres not an option for what type of family, just takes you to download page, trust me i looked for the 9200 series..

i just went with the family and downloaded, so hope it's right

another question? is it better to leave fast write on or off?

"Fast writes" do not really give you any performance advantages and can cause some system instabilities, especially if you have overclocked your CPU or FSB.

Since you already subscribe to this thread Skuzzy ill put in a quick question here (sorry 68DevilM....dont mean to hijack it):

Will AH2 be made available in 64bit version someday? Not sure if i ask the correct question but ive read that when windows 64bit edition comes out, software developers can make a "patch" that makes the software optimised for 64 bit processors. Will this be done as an option for AH2 aswell? May be relevant for me and others that will upgrade cpu's soon.

It would take a lot more than a 'patch' to make the game 64 bit.

It should just work as a 32 bit app.
