I know that ATI will likely not make any catalyst driver to support server 2k3, but I use frontpage and often go to my browser to test my sites, and the slowness of the redraw for the browser scrolling is severely getting on my nerves.

If this belongs in software or video let me know, but it's specifically directed toward this OS.

I hope so. Just ordered an ATI card for a system that will be running 2k3... If no one answers this, I can install the drivers and find out, but it isn't a radeon.

Install XP Catalyst drivers in "XP compatability mode". IIRC, the smartgart service is unsupported.

Note: Also, after installing new drivers, go to the troubleshooting tab for the display properties and turn the HW acceleration all the way back up to get the ATI control panel to work properly and get DX acceleration.

Thanks, sounds like it should work that way, I'll risk testing it myself now, since I don't have much on my server yet. (I'll just make a backup and if it's a no go, I can re-install without too much fuss)

edit: did it, it worked great, Thanks a Heap,
