    Dell ATI Mobility 7500 64MB, Dell hasn't released updated drivers since 2002 - Can I install direct from ATI?

    I'm guessing because ATI doesn't even seem to support the mobile 7500.

    grimreaper19 is right,I have a 7500 in mine too and the standard ATI drivers will not install so you have to use Omega drivers which is not such a bad thing,eh.

    Easy,the 9500Pro.You might even get lucky and get one with 3.3 or 3.0 Infineon ram that's factory unlocked like me:)
