I have just installed the build 53 dirvers for the ati ultra pro local bus
card in my Gateway 2000 486/66.
Anyway I tested it in all modes from 640x480 to 1280x1025 and from 16 to 256
colors(I have 2 megs of vram but don't have the new ramdac :() Anyway
from Winbech 3.1 I got 13,648,661 winmarks on the build 50 drivers and with the
same test I got 15,274,584 winmarks with the build 53. I ahev experienced no
error yet and some of my stuff that ran buggy(Start Trekk After Dark) now
run without errors in the animation. I understand the new winbench (3.1)
version uses a new testing scheme which is why the winmark  results are lower
than normal. Oh well the new drivers give me almost 2 million more winmarks
so I am not complaining. (wish I had a buck for each mark :))
