    Hi

    Yes the 3200 chip is an onboard graphics solution so the integrated/motherboard one is the correct one.

    What is the make and model of your PC, as at times the drivers sometimes are best to get off the original makers site.

    Thank you for posting this! I've been looking for an answer to the same question. I have an HP dv4 Pavilion and have the ATI Radeon HD 3200 and couldn't find anywhere that would tell me that it *is* the integrated/motherboard, including at ATI's web site. HP says there are no driver updates for my system, but ATI has a new version of the display driver and ATI Catalyst Control Center on their website at: http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=vista64/integrated-vista64.

    The reason I am thinking of updating is that I'm trying to use dual monitors and I get a driver problem / recovered message a couple of times, then I get a vista windows crash. The has only happened in the last couple of weeks whenever I've tried the dual monitors.

    Does this sound like a case for updating the driver and is there any reason not to use the whole 'package' and update both the driver and Catalyst Control Center?

    Thank you!

    HI

    Catalyst Control Center is not really needed in reality, a nice addition though and should always be tied if possible as it has many options, but needs Microsoft .NET installed to work properly, but the drivers should be ok for you.

    Would also need to know what Service Pack your using in Vista and what the exact error was to just make sure its not something other than a GFX issue with drivers?
