Question Dell Inspirion 8600 - Those who own one please help!

Hello everyone,

I am reinstalling my laptop and came across a problem.

I have downloaded and installed the latest video driver from Omega Drivers, that is apparently still supporting ATI 9600. However when I move any window around, it feels slow. The window doesnt move as naturally smooth. I see ghost tracings, kind of lagging. I feel the latest driver is not very good for ATI 9600.

Damn, I wished I had made a note which Omega Driver I had previously installed on my laptop before formatting it.

Can you please help and tell me which driver from archive is more appropriate for Dell I8600? I dont have much time to test, since I am giving this laptop away to my sister abroad. I need to sort this out before its too late.

Kind Regards,
Houman

AMD no longer supports legacy GPUs and your pretty much forced to use whats available. Look into the latest modified AMD drivers from driverheaven
