Does Apple have new drivers for this issue in windows XP running through bootcamp?

I did a google search and found many other posts about this issue as well and it appears to be a driver issue.

When I'm in windows I run games mainly, but I also surf the web etc and do normal browsing as well.


Are there better drivers out there that have better performance then the apple bootcamp ones? I have run the apple updater and have the most recent drivers for everything.

Did you install the 2.1 Boot Camp update for your version of Windows? There's one for Windows XP, one for 32-bit Vista, and one for 64-bit Vista.

Yes. 32bit XP

This sounds like a graphics card driver bug. You could try updating your Windows driver to the latest one from ATI for your particular card - this should work, and might fix the problem you're having.

Are normal windows drivers better then the apple ones? I'm sure their updated more often, but I'm looking for performance

I wouldn't say they are better or worse. Just updated more frequently, as you said.
