What is the best recommendation for drivers for the ATI AIW 9800 Pro card?

I have read that the Omega Drivers version 2.6.87 are really good for this, anyone have a link to download it or is there something better? Every link I have tried to download it ends up dead.

Omega drivers have better quality at the loss of performance. AMD still has drivers iirc otherwise try omegadrivers.net

I think that site has been kaput for years now. I'm not sure what the best place is to get the old driver packages.

Well, not quite the same version as OP asked for (only 3.8.421), but...
http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/radeo … s_for_xp2k.html

Note: Havent tested this one myself, so it may(unlikely) be 'ad-supported' or something similar, as it seems like many of the newer downloads on their site are, but is still downloadable at least...
And it is presumably almost 10years old, so perhaps it is clean/not 'retro-fitted'.

There is also an Omega version for Win98ME there as well.
At least this one is currently identical in file name and byte size as my 9 year old original download, so fingers crossed... 😎
(I don't have the old XP one, so can't compare those)

Ah my mistake, I still had them lying around on a cd with a link to the website, although I used the asus legacy drivers for my 9800
