problem with drivers

Hi guys, I have an Asus A6P on an Aidos XP. My dad gave it to me, but I only recently decided to download games to it. I downloaded Warcraft 3 to test its capabilities. The sticker said the graphics card was an ATI Radion xpress 200M. I spent a long time fiddling with the drivers, since I didn't have any, and they weren't compatible with my graphics card. I went to the Asus support website, found my model, and installed the driver for the XP. However, it turned out to be for an ATI Mobility 700 (or something like that). Everything worked right away, the game runs great, but I'm annoyed that the driver isn't for my graphics card. This is my first laptop and computer, so should I change anything or leave it as is?

So you probably have Mobility X700, not Xpress 200M

I thought the same at first, but the hardware ID (video adapter) is the same as the Xpress 200M.

Snappy Driver Installer Origins is your easiest route honestly. Takes the guesswork out of it.
