Well i was recording one video to my channel about upgrading my Athlon XP 1700+ and GF FX5200 to a Athlon XP2800+ and a Radeon 9600 XT and after booting i downloaded the drivers from the official website but when i was trying to install it said that no compatible hardware was found, i went into safe mode and installed the inf from device manager, it booted but it kept crashing the games and ones that didn't crashed had terrible performance, 3DMark 01 SE crashed, 3DMark03 crashed.
To rule out that the processor wasn't the problem i brought back my GF FX5200 and its working great(the PSU i refurbished by changing all electrolytic caps and changing the fan, and it is rated for 60 amps on +5v).
I'm pretty sure that is a driver issue because the 9600 works fine on my Windows 98 Rig(using more older drivers).
Which version of the XP drivers you guys recommend me?
Edit: and to rule out, i brought the ram timings back to CL2,5(SPD timings)
