you can use any ATI driver, but you have to modify the inf file of the new file with the lines from the dell inf files that relate to: the should be a whole bunch of lines after [ATI Mfg] the real ATI drivers also have rotation, if you have an external lcd that supports it, powerplay which will automatically reduce battery consumption when not on ac. I believe the standard drivers have it though under display propertiese / advanced / displays tab select panel and make sure scale image to panel size is checked.
Did you purchase the video card and upgrade it yourself, or order the whole system from Dell?
Inspiron 8100, Pentium III 1.0 GHz, 15" UXGA 1600x1200 IBM
384 MB SDRAM, 30GB Hard Drive, Windows XP Professional [SP1]
64MB DDR 4X AGP NVIDIA GeForce4 440 Go
NVIDIA Detonator 41.03 (WHQL Candidate?), FlashBIOS Version A13
I returned another system with the 32M GeForce 4 Go, SXGA screen, then ordered this new one from Dell.
I guess I'm going to try ATI's reference driver and modify the inf file. I did that on the GF4 and it worked beatifully. All I had to add to the original inf file is the 1400x1050 resolution. Does anyone know if ATI's driver has the ATI Zoom utility included?

Just fiddled with some settings and ran Mark2001. Got a 7005 benchmark..How's that? I think it's petty good.
