I think you're overstating the problems of the ATI's drivers. They're not that bad - I've been running various versions for more than six months, without so much as a crash. If you have problems with drivers, it may not always be the videocard that's at fault...

but if you want other drivers: there are people "hacking" the ATI drivers to change them a bit, showing prettier graphics or having more raw speed. They are ultimately still the same drivers, with the same potential problems.

To solve your supposed ATI problem once and for all, you could get an NVidia videocard instead, and try and deal with *their* occasional problems.

Alternatively: did you try to re-install Windows itself? That might solve your problems. Or you could (re-)install DirectX 9.0c, see what that does.
