Radeon Mobility M6 Modded Driver

wqfung · May 25, 2007, 12:44 AM

Hello,

I've actually been searching and reading the forums for a long time before I registered. It's good to know there are more help here than some of the "official" forums I've seem. Anyways, like many of the others, I have an old HP Pavilion ZE5170 laptop stashed on my desk for a while. I was trying to fiddle with the graphics and driver, trying to get it to run as best as it could in World of Warcraft. I've read every post in the EPIC thread and have found several posts that is similar to the isue I have. Particularly from SinR and cru concerning the comp halting and graphics becoming distorted (in various Outland places: Underbog, Tempest Keep, some parts of Netherstorm, forcing me to reset the comp. I've use Radeon Omega Drivers 3.8.252 (Catalyst 6.5) when the issue occurred. Since then, I had wipe my comp clean and reinstalled everything. I currently used the Catalyst 6.4 (6-4_xp-2k_dd_ccc_wdm_enu_31959) obtained from this site and modded it with ModToolV4. I haven't tested it out on WoW yet and would like to get some idea wheher I got the correct driver for my comp.

Before the release of Burning Crusades, my laptop with the Omega modded driver worked fine. I am in the process to ordering a new comp since this one is practically obsolete in gaming standards. However, I would like to see it still hang in there, at least with WoW. My DxDiag and MSInfo is below:

I have read alot of posts in this forum and is rather confused what applies to me, and which driver I should use. 5.13b, 6.11, 6.4, 6.5. Furthermore, I am unsure what applies for the ATI Radeon M6 on this comp. I know the comp sucks and I will be getting the new Asus G2S once it's availble. Will one of you Gurus be able to lend me some wisdom and give some life to this old notebook?

Thanks in advance!
