You will have better success getting the latest 4 in 1's and mini agp drivers from <A HREF="http://www.amd.com" TARGET=_blank>www.amd.com</A> and also getting the latest det drivers. 
Remember we have all you need in the <A HREF="http://www.guru3d.com/files" TARGET=_blank>download</A> section.

okay so i lied. 
system is not having benchmark??? 
ive downloaded and installed 4in1's, and det drivers, but when running benchmark, stops half way through and and blue screen pops up telling me my disk maybe faulty (which it isnt) and to avoid damage the computer must restart??? the rest of the page i cannot read cause i goes pretty quick. 
any ideas????
