Hi all - Can somebody tell me if after a reinstallation of XP, will my 
ati radeon 9100 igp graphics card be picked up by XP, or will I need 
to install a driver for it first. I've been to the ati website, and 
tried to download a driver for this card, but after entering in my 
operating system, and the brand of radeon, there was nothing listed 
for my 9100. Don't know if I'm right, but I'm assuming that after a 
clean install, all drivers have been removed from the machine, and 
have to be installed, that's why I'm asking about the ati graphics 
card. people have said that some drivers are built in to the 
motherboard, but I have no knowledge in this area, so don't know if 
this is so, and if so, which drivers they might be, even so, I 
wouldn't expect graphics card drivers to be amongst these, as cards 
are changeable!

Hope somebody can help me be clear about this, as when it happens, I 
want the installation to go smoothly as I can't aford to be without a 
machine for long.

Thanks - Andy
