ATI 9800 Pro. Which drivers work fully?

[sculptor]

Im building a retro system NF2 mobo, BH5 ram, ATI 9800 Pro. Everything is up and running with XP fully updated and all system drivers updated.
However Im having trouble with the ATI cats. Using the original disk (3.8 cats) which came with the graphics card 3D Mark 2001 and 2003 work but 2005 and 2006 dont, pixel flickering and washed out colours.
If I try the latest ATI drivers then 2005 and 2006 work, but the system crashes when running 2001 and 2003.
Does anyone know of a driver suite which will run all the 3D Mark series?

if you can still track down the omega drivers they worked a treat otherwise try cat 9.3 which appeared to work on a system I build cheaply as a temp one till I get one from the members market. The 9800 pro is a good card but for some reason I had a similar issue but think it was the agp driver for the mainboard. WHat mainboard U using?

3.8.252 are the last fully stable ones that I can remember. Anything higher for me causes lockups in source engine games, mind you I haven't bothered to try anything newer recently.

(That's Cat 6.5)

Edit: Just to say, tipsy is prolly right with 9.3 being the absolute maximum as AMD aren't including support in 9.4 and later now: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Legacy/Pages/radeonaiw_xp.aspx

My mainboard is the DFI NF2 Ultra B and Im using the latest drivers I could find for it. It is the 9.3 cats that are causing the system to crash and Im not getting the Windows your system has recovered from a serious error message when it reboots, so it is problably a conflict between the mobo and graphics drivers.
When I swap out to the 3.8 cats on boot up I get all the error messages I should have got with the crashes on the 9.3 cats so the system is obviously happy with the mobo drivers and 3.8 cats.
Probably best to try Nvidia to see if I can find more up to date mobo drivers first then work through the ATI cats to find one that works.
Thanks for your help, been a few years since Ive played with a NF2 system and sometimes the obvious dosent spring to mind.
