Original Radeon DDR drivers?

Just bought a second-hand PC to add to our hardware pool, basically I can give my Rage 128 to an older machine and benefit from a Radeon DDR 64mb.

This is the original card. I have loaded the drivers from the driver CD that ships with the card (old now obviously). When I go to get the latest from ATi, I select my OS - Windows 2000 and then card, Radeon DDR. When it comes to install, the driver shows at the Radeon 7200 driver - is this the correct driver? I remember that ATi changed the naming scheme of their cards but I want to make sure I'm installing the correct driver.

Many thanks

That's the correct driver. Mine shows up as a Radeon 7200 as well. And it works great, BTW.

Thanks for the response Workin' :D

Thats excellent news, much appreciated.

Edit: How can I tell if the card is a VIVO model? It has an S-Video and two composite connectors on the back. :)

Edit2: Seems that any Radeon 64mb DDR is actually a VIVO model, by the looks of ATi's site, problem solved.

I had the same issue, my old driver showed up as "radeon ddr", the new ones as "radeon 7200".

Of course mine was a "powered by ati" card, is yours?

Although you answered your own question, if you have a 64MB DDR Radeon with those 3 ports on the back then it is a VIVO model.

No, mine is "built by ATI".

Workin' - Thanks for confirming.

Foolish McNasty - No, like Workin' I have a 'Built by ATi' card.
