    Can anyone tell me if the Omega drivers will work with the ATI radeon x200 with 128 MB dedicated memory on my zv6005us?

    I believe they should; according to the Omega Drivers website, they work with all Mobility RADEONs.

    --------------------
    Gateway 7422GX: AMD Athlon 64 3400+, 1024MB DDR RAM, 64MB Mobility RADEON 9600

    AVERATEC AV3270-EH1: AMD Mobile Sempron 2800+, 512MB DRR RAM, 64MB (shared) S3G Unichrome

    I'll download them after I get off work in the next few hours. I was hoping to find someone that owned a HP ZV6005US and had tried them.

    I downloaded the drivers and now I had to reload windows. Not sure what, if anything, I did wrong?

    The Omega Drivers are compatible with all ATI Radeon cards:
    (it doesn't matter if they are DDR, SDR, PCI, PCI-E, AGP, Mobile, Retail, OEM or 3rd Party)

    from the website itself. I run the latest ATI Omega drivers for my Mobility 9600 (Gateway 7426GX) and notice a difference in the quality of textures,colors etc. I am very pleased. I DID uninstall the previous stock ATI drivers prior to installing the Omega's though. Cheers and hope you are up an running soon.

    Gateway 7426GX
    AMD Athlon 64, 3700+ Processor
    1 Gig DDR Ram
    100 Gig HDD
    Dual Layer Multiformat +/- DVD/CDRW
    6x Digital Media Card reader
    15.4" Ultrabright screen
    ATI Mobility 9600 w/Omega drivers.
