hi guys, on Ati website there is no driver for this system. i have a question, maybe a stupid one indeed; i have a laptop with intel processor/chipset and acer aspire motherboard. is it valid to install a AMD ATI Radeon HD4570 driver for my windows xp professional x64 system? because i have found it on the AMD website..
even so, are there any compatible versions? im not an expert on which is the right one for my card. i found this but i dont know for sure. its from '06.. http://downloads.guru3d.com/Catalyst-6.6-Windows-XP-Professional-x64-download-1431.html
AMD/ATI hasn't been allowed to publically release Laptop drivers on XP. You would either get them direct from the Manufacturer or try and mod them. In Vista/7 there is now a Mobility program where they can supply drivers direct. A couple of manufacturers opted out. But XP isn't included in this scheme. I've been looking around, I've found a newish driver from the Developer team. Often their drivers have Mobility parts listed alongside Desktop Dev_Id's. So that a specific driver can be tested on many different systems. Here's Cat10.7b which is from the Developer team and installs on a wide range of systems (HD series Desktops/Laptops-Firestream/Firepro). http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/OpenCL11ATICat107UpdateDriver.aspx Another good driver, that I have installed on a few laptops is 8.74. This was a pre release driver that can install on nearly everything, Win7/Vista/XP x86/x64 Laptops/Desktop/ATI&Intel Switchable. It's dated April 2010 (early developer driver which became Cat10.6) http://www.station-drivers.com/tele...talyst_8.74-full(www.station-drivers.com).exe There is also a program called Mobility Modder by Hardware Heaven. This will modify the standard Desktop Catalyst driver so that it installs on a laptop. I'm not sure if this program still works well with the newest drivers.
Id try with modded 10.12 for xp 64 since they're out. Its a pain in the ass to get new XP 64 bit drivers... (had XP 64 for about a year).
thanks allot guys. i will try with the one you provided Rik55. i dont think i will experience issues, i mean whats the worst it could happen right i havent installed the system yet. i will feedback after i will, in a couple of hours
The Chubu, it looks like a good driver, but i dont have any knowledge of modding the video card.. or you meant that its allready modded?
i installed Cat10.7b and its working so far. here is the driver version it installed: ati Mobility HD 4500/5100series. mine is 4570, so i gwess it fits. the only thing is that the color mode pixels are 32bits. my system is x64, and maybe thats a problem or maybe this is the usual color bits mode for the x64 graphic display drives? i dont know for sure
@komputer Looks good. That's fine. A 64bit (x64) operating system uses a 64bit CPU with 64bit programing instructions to fully access 4GB or more system memory. Where as a color mode of 32bits just simply represents the color depth that your monitor can display. The normal max is 32bit for your monitor.
i dont know if the audio driver is compatible or not. usually if i go to realtek and download latest xp64 hdmi and wdm driver its the right procedure i think. but i got some explamation marks in devices : conexant setup api (its on 2 lines) and the audio high definition modem. even if my sound works.
