WINDOWS SERVER 2003 & ATI RADEON DRIVER
Posted by djelite 1st off, yes, I'm running 2k3 like a desktop. I followed the whole Windows Server 2003 to Workstation Guide @ http://www.msfn.org/win2k3/ and everything went perfectly. I am so GLAD that a lot of the background services have been cut out. Also, no themes, windows messenger, sounds and whatever bloated extras there was in XP. In fact, services wise, I had to turn on & fully accelerate less in W2k3 then I had to turn off in WXP. But, I do have a problem with my RADEON 8500 (128MB). The OS sees it as having only 96MB and there are no CATALYST drivers for the OS nor am I led to believe there will ever be one. I'm wondering if someone will make some kind of tweaked out driver for it or is there something that exists out there already for it. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Here's a piece of FAQ from the ATI website: ATI driver information for Microsoft Windows Server 2003 All drivers for Windows Server 2003 are maintained and deployed by Microsoft. This operating system currently provides drivers for RAGE XL products only. While Windows Server 2003 display drivers are not available from ATI directly, you may obtain updates through Windows Update, or other deployment option from Microsoft. Windows Server 2003 is positioned as a business and corporate enterprise server Operating System. It is not intended for home or personal use. Please refer to Microsoft's website for detailed information. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/default.mspx INFO-BASE# 4227 KEYWORDS: Windows Server 2003 Driver |
