    As long as you have XP, either the Omega drivers or ATI Catalyst drivers will work for your card. The difference between Omega drivers and ATI drivers are that Omega drivers support more GPUs and they may give better performance in games or might be more stable then ATI cataylst drivers. However, there is no such thing a "best" driver(you have to experiment).

    Download the new drivers, but do not install yet means that just download the installation file and continue to step 2 that lithus listed above.
