ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 Series in HP Compaq nc6000 without AMD Athlon

My ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 Series graphic card had run optimally with an Intel Pentium IV CPU and nVidia graphic driver with neither a Ge/NForce processor nor graphic card.

After an ATI Controller installation via the HP Compaq nc6000 driver download page for WinXPProf (look up the link of my latest posts) white frames around several start up symbols and basically long buffering of YouTube videos hindered me from enjoying HP Compaq nc6000 videos as before. De-installation of the ATI Controller and re-installation of a common ATI Radeo driver has not yet brought back the video quality of the former nVidia driver, but the common one is compatible with all device components as well - opposited the nVidia driver was corrupted after deinstallation of the ATI Controller of any series.

This ATI driver, catalyst and controller download did not show white frames on my screen, but videos were played only with - partly very long lasting - interruptions and buffering. In contrast, that VGA Driver ATI.zip file on Cnet.com hadn't been recognized by WinXPProf.
