Thread: Driver Updates

Here's a quick question

According to my directx diagnostic tool I have a ATI radeon x300/x550/x1050 series. I'm pretty sure it's out of date but I don't see it on any list when I try to find it. Am I missing something or do I need to get the updated drivers for the x300, x550 and the x1050 separately?

You sure? I'm looking under home edition>>radeon(I have XP) and I can't find all three of them together like that
