I'm running a ATI Radeon 9500 Pro and haven't have a problem with it or the drivers. To me it sounds like you may have a system problem but thats just my take on it. I am partial to WinXP over the earlier versions. Depending on your application, you can easily just purchase the components and build a computer yourself. Pretty cheap these days and not too hard. If you can install hardware, you can build a computer.
