    It looks like there is no Mobility Catalyst support for Windows Media Center Edition so is it just not possible to update the GPU driver?

    I tried the regular mobile 6.3 and got an INF error, Windows Media Center edition (which i guess they don't have a mobility version of yet?) same error, 6.3 just wouldn't install correctly.

    I may try using a modded version of the Media Center Edition desktop driver and see if that works but there should be an easier solution than that.

    come on Chazman and ikovac, earn your keep ^_^

    Yeah, I'd try modding the desktop Catalyst drivers for Media Center. The latest Catalyst drivers are the 6.3's.

    XP MCE is weird indeed with drivers . . . a shame it can't use the regular XP drivers to my understanding.

    it is a shame it even exists in my opinion, i despise media center edition with all my will.

    i might try that, but this thing is performing pretty well with stock drivers. 2273 first run on 3dmark05.
