i purchased an ati radeon hd 2600 xt from craiglist and installed it on my mac pro fine. i can't seem to find the drivers for it on the ati/amd site. seems like on OS X its running it fine. but im sure i still need the drivers for it. i also use boot camp and i would want drivers for that as well. seems like its not reading the card well on windows side. (i.e. everything runs choppy and slow) anybody know where i can find it and possibly link me to where i can get? thanks for the assistance!

Why are you sure that you need drivers for something that is supported with drivers in the OS already?

And Boot Camp drivers are on your Leopard disk.

The driver's built in on OSX. For Windows go to amd.com and look around.

Use the bootcamp drivers on your install disk.It's got drivers for more than one card.

For Windows? Sure, it would.

so i would just have to drop the leopard disk in like the first time i did for the initial install of xp?

Yes. But you would have to re-install all the bootcamp drivers because it looks for which card is in there and installs the correct driver.

Surprisingly enough it's easier to get the Catalyst drivers from AMD's Gamer sub site (http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx). :rolleyes:
