I need some help please......

I recently had to reformat my HD and I cannot for the life of me remember what drivers I was using for my ATI 9800np. They were the best I has used. Since then, I have tried the 5.8 and my gaminig fezes with them. Then I tried the 5.4 but noticed a frame rate drop in games that I would normally get higher rates. Are the 4.8 or 4.9 still good to use? I know they are old scool but I gotta try something. Any help is well appreciated.

system specs below

the 4.10 set (normal or modded) got the best reception out of any older driver in recent memory, maybe that's the one you're thinking of.

Have you tried moded drivers like the Omega's or the Unians? They are both excellant!

Yup, it was the 4.12s. These drivers (at least for me) are still the best and produce the best frame rates (again, for me they do). Thanks guys!
