Is anyone running a 8500 with Win XP? If so, how are the drivers? Are there any stability issues? The reason why i ask is because i'm planning on building a new computer with a Radeon 8500 LE and i wanted to use XP as my OS. And i would like to know if there are good drivers out there b4 i buy the card.

I'm running the 8500 with latest drivers from the ATI site in XP and no problems. Superfast with Quake, Unreal etc etc no lockups just brilliant! (AMD 1600XP, 512DDR)

If the drivers come with the Windows XP and support your card don't use them. Windows XP drivers with any video card doesn't have OpenGL support. You'll need to get them from ATI and they'll have them for you since Windows XP is out awhile now.
