updating my drivers

heya there.

Just got one short question: could anyone help me find the correct driver to update with?

I'm currently looking at my system information and I've got an ATI Radeon X1250 Graphics Card and at date it says 27.07.2007.

I really should update it, right?

so I was wondering if anyone could help me by giving me some pointers at this, I'm kind of unexperienced at such things.
I'm running on Windows Vista: Home Premium (6.0, Build 6000) 32bit.

which leads to my other question, which goes a little off-topic here.
But how can I check if I've got SP1 or not? I had it before I rolled back my computer, but did it also get removed?
I'm currently downloading both SP1 and SP2 just incase

Option 1 to update everything or if you just want to update the driver go with option 2.

To find out what SP package you have just right click on the computer icon and go into properties and it will be on the top under what version of windows you have.
