That's correct. For XP catalyst 8.5 is the newest version that isn't broken. Hoborg has a link to download it on the first page of the "Stand Alone Filters" thread. I tested 8.11 and 8.12 and it works fine for HD stuff but hardware accel is still broken for SD stuff. So, 8.5 is still recommended for troublefree playback.I have the pcie ATI 3450 and it works great. I will tell you though, that ATI removed support for AGP from the catalyst drivers. I tried an AGP card first and spent weeks trying to get it to work with DXVA. It wasn't worth it. Save yourself some time and upgrade to a system with a pcie slot. That's just my opinion, but I'm hoping it'll save you some headaches!
