New Windows 2003 ATI driver for the DL380 G4

[Corbin OReilly]

Hello. I noticed on HP's web site that there is a new driver available for the ATI video card in the DL380 G4 running Windows 2003 server. My server is a Windows 2003 server and is currently using ATI driver 5.10.2600.6014 dated 8/8/01. The new driver on the web site says "Initial Release" and is 5.10.2600.6024 dated 8/15/06. My question is has anyone upgraded their Proliant with this latest ATI driver? I just wanted to get some feedback before I upgrade. I had the server lock up over the weekend. The server was on with all lights green but it was completely unresponsive. I had to power it off manually and back on again. When it came up everything was fine. In the past I had video card drivers cause problems like this so when I checked and saw a new driver available I wanted to talk to all of you and see if anyone has installed it without any problems. Thanks for the help. Corbin.
