xp-64 video drivers

I recently installed xp x64 on a dual-core Pentium-D machine and I learned
quickly that there was not very deep video driver support. On the strength
of the following:
http://winqual.microsoft.com/HCL/Pro...ge%20XL&oid=19
which says that ATI Rage XL is logo certified for xp x64 I bought an
inexpensive ATI Rage XL PCI card. However the included installation CD nor
any download site I have searched has the driver. Given that ATI went
through logo certification it seems to me that a web search during a Windows
"upgrade driver" operation or something equally obvious should discover the
driver. Any clues as to how I can find the driver without have to resort to
something like "driver detective?"

The link at the end of

appears to be the driver you want.

Just how old is this card? I suspect that it is too old for any new drivers
to have been written for it.

See info @ http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownloa...legacy-xp.aspx
Drivers for Discontinued ATI Rage™ Series Products for Windows XP
Professional/Home Edition

The last XP 32-bit driver for the Rage XL was back on April 02, 2002, so
it doesn't seem logical that it would have been certified for XP x64.
