Windows 98/ME - display driver version 4.13.9031
Windows 2000 - display driver version 5.13.01.6071
Windows XP - display driver version 6.13.10.6071

2. Obtain and install the appropriate OpenGL component update.

Windows 98/ME - WME-SOF-OGL-3140-PATCH.EXE
Windows 2000/XP - WXP-W2K-SOF-OGL-3140-PATCH.EXE

When downloaded simply run the included installer.It is interesting that the new version is 6.13.10.3140 compared to 6.13.10.3064 which was delivered with the original 6071 driver set. As speculated for quite some time ATI is working on a new driver set that will improve performance by rumoured 5-10 percent. The huge leap in version numbers could be a little indicator for some progression in driver development.
