Too bad we can't install them on our laptops, since ATI no longer supports

laptop (embedded) graphics chips - you have to wait for the OEM to release

them. Yeah, right. Like Acer will ever release an update for this Ferrari.

Sigh.

Charlie,

Do you still feel young and want to push the envelope?

Try this tool:

http://www.driverheaven.net/modtool.php

Mod the official catalysts and convert them to mobile.

(use at your own risk, etc. etc. etc.)

Charlie,

I don't know what OS you have in your laptop, but if it is XP you may find

something here:

I used these last month to install the ATI 8.6 drivers on my wife's new

laptop with a 3870 chip. No problems at all (that was 32-bit XP though).

Re: ATI Catalyst 8.7's released

 

Kerry, did the driver actually install or just the updated Catalyst

Manager? Can you check the driver version in device manager?

Re: ATI Catalyst 8.7's released

 

I have Vista Business x86 and Server 2008 Enterprise x64 installed on this

laptop. Both show the driver version as 8.512.0.0 after installing the

latest driver from ATI. The Catalyst Control Center doesn't work properly in

Server 2008 x64. The driver seems to be fine. Both the CCC and the driver

work in Vista x86.

Re: ATI Catalyst 8.7's released

 

Hi, Kerry.

 

Me, too.

 

I'm running Vista Ultimate x64 and see driver version 8.512.0.0 in Device

Manager after installing the 8.7 driver package from ATI. I did not even

download the CCC because I don't need that extra overhead.

 

I don't know why I bothered with 8.7, since my computer was running fine

before - and it's still fine with 8.512.

I don't normally install it either. I thought I'd try it and see what

happened. I'll probably uninstall it.
