TNT Ultra to Radeon 64DDR Upgrade Tips?

Just got my Radeon 64DDR (SE!) and want to upgrade from a Viper 770 Ultra. Running Win98, Diamond drivers, DirectX 6.1 and PowerDVD 3.0 on an Abit BH6 (NV BIOS & OC'ed 850 Celly) with 256MB Crucial CAS2 PC133. Used to run Nvidia 2.17 drivers until wife and kid installed some games. Part time gamer who wants to watch DVD's, record small video bits with audio, upgrade to most stable DirectX, and wipe all previous drivers. Can anyone help with the right sequence and/or other tips? Thanks in advance!! 😕
 
Make sure you completely remove any old drivers...

For the radeon the best drivers maybe the 7075..the last official drivers..I am currently running the 7153 beta..I see little differences in the various drivers...not sure why...

more advice can be found at Rage3D Forums
 
Uinstall the Diamond drivers, via add/remove programs section first, then go to System, and change ur video driver to Standard Super VGA, or just delete the old TNT2 drivers. Shut down, remove the TNT2, put in the Radeon, boot up and install the radeon drivers. i Find that the 7075's are the best for WIn 98. if ur using WIn 2k, or planning to soon, the beta 3224 drivers are stable and will make u lose only about 100 points in 3dmark 2k1 compared to Win ME (what i was using). Hope that helps.
 
Thanks gang, but I AM the weakest link. Do I need to upgrade DirectX and uninstall PowerDVD to use the card for the latest games, DVD's and video recording? How about DX8.0a, is it stable and will it run on my hardware?? I also have a MX300 sound card, (2) Maxtor 40GB hard drives, Plextor CD-RW and a Pioneer 16X slot load DVD player.
