Microsoft announced that consumers should upgrade the drivers of their ATI 512 MB graphics cards to
avoid possible "hanging" of their WindowsXP 64-bit eddition OS.
According to the announcement, the problem ocurrs in cases where the total memory installed on a
PC running XP Professional x64 Edition is less than 512MB.
The cards affected by this GPU and OS memory conflict are the following:
- RADEON 9000/9200/9500/9600/9700/9800 series
- X300/X700/X800 series
- FireGL series
According to Microsoft, consumers should upgrade to the latest GPU drivers. More information is
