I was wondering do the drivers that bootcamp burn. Are they all you need to play games or do you need to go to the ati site to get the drivers or additional drivers for the graphic card?
thanks

I cannot say for certain with respect to the ATI drivers included in bootcamp, as my iMac has the nVidia card... but I didn't install any additional video drivers from the nVidia website; I'm using the ones that Apple bundled with bootcamp and they work flawlessly in all of the games I've played. (Dawn of War, R6/RavenShield, R6/Vegas, UT2004, etc.)
That said: you probably will want to install the current version of Direct X from Microsoft's software update webpage, if you haven't already. Also, a few older games require that you disable one of the processor cores (http://wiki.onmac.net/index.php/Users/Guides/Disabling_Dual-Core_on_a_per_application_basis).

Yeah basically you'll need those drivers to get any decent performance out of your games. You can also try the omega ATi drivers, which is what I use.
