Xpress 200 Series driver - Which Omega or Catalyst to get?

I have a 3-year-old laptop from HP, that has the Ati Mobility Radeon Xpress 200 Series graphics chip, I have been trying to figure out which version of the Omega Drivers and/or Catalyst Drivers (for Mobility Modder) I should get.

Since my system is so old, I hesitate to just get the newest driver, since they may have pulled support for my chip. Of course, ATI is no help, since it's supposed to be up to the laptop manufacturer to update the driver - Of course, I wouldn't call 12/1/2005 *UPDATED*, but that's just me.

I'm trying to run a Japanese game, and of course one of the recommendations was to update my driver. I think they mentioned that the game needed Pixel Shader 2.0. I've already got DirectX 9.0c installed.

Laptop info:
HP Pavilion DV 5000 series
XP Home (service pack 3)
AMD Sempron Processor 3300+
795 MHZ (I don't know if that is the processor speed, I thought it was a lot higher)
384 MB Ram

Actually, the Processor should be 2000MHZ, I guess the 795MHZ has something to do with the on-chip memory speeed.
