Actually Star, the 4.12's were optmized for the X800 series (not the X800XL however) as well as the 9600, 9700, and 9800 series.

It was the driver which contained the triangle setup optimizations which gave most all games a nice boost in performance.

The 5 series did indeed re-introduce the 'black dar dot' bug from the pre-Catalyst drivers.  However, it seems the 5.4's have corected this for the ATI X series, but not the older cards.

Cheers fuze. I'm not sure that this is it, as those look to be the ATI catalyst drivers they are talking about, plus NGO drivers don't look to get to the 2.xxx yet. Thanks again for taking the time to look.

the 4.12s are what I used on my 9800 Pro. Worked like a charm, as a matter of fact they are still working like a charm in my wife computer  :D

Catalyst 4.12's are the best drivers for the 9000 series ATI cards.
