New iMac - XP Video Drivers

[Vablonx]

I was wondering if anyone has found a good set of drivers for the new iMac in Windows XP. The catalyst drivers say I don't have the hardware.

Also, anyone else running LOTR Online with the new iMac?

That must be why I can't seem to get the Quake Wars demo to run on my XP partition. I've also had a few other errors related to video. You think that's the problem?

Bootcamp is only beta and Apple has no reason to update the drivers regularly until BC becomes the final article.

When Leopard comes out, it will come with the finished article and in theory should be supported with regular driver updates.

It's not so much Apple as it is ATI - they do put Boot Camp drivers on their website, they just don't have any new ones for the new iMacs posted yet... It may not even require "Boot Camp-specific" drivers - for all we know the next set of catalysts may recognize the hardware just fine...

I'm using Boot Camp 1.4 and I was able to get Bioshock to run quite well on my 20" 2.4ghz Intel iMac. I used the video driver that was installed with Boot Camp. It's running with high resolution, full video effects without stutter. I didn't check the frame rate, but it runs real smooth.

just delete all files from drivers directory from boot camp ati drivers and put there all files from drivers directory from ati catalyst 7.9...
install it and enjoy

I just came across this over at dpreview. Sounds like it might be the answer.
