Windows VIA Bootcamp Question

So after i15 released I have noticed I have gotten some pretty bad lag. My powers keep cycling through in the tray, Animations dont work, and NPCS run from one place then rubberband to another, then back again. This is happening on every server, every mission. Different toons.

I have NEVER had this happen before.

so here is my dilemma. I am running bootcamp off my iMac and I went to ATI's drivers website. I have two options for my Video card.

Windows XP: Driver update Available as of June 09.
Windows XP Bootcamp: Driver is up to date.

Should I update my video card driver per the Windows XP option?

Or since I am running Bootcamp, leave my drivers alone?

Edit: To clarify my post.

There've been reports of increased lag after I15 launched, but I'm not sure if there's any one problem to attribute it to.

I find that whenever i update my ati driver in window it causes more problems than is solved. abd usually get better results when apple updates the video drivers themself. and usually by them when apple does release them (later than the windows version of course) the video drivers are more stable.

as for lag its not a mac issue, i got a lil more lag after issue 15 in my 2009 imac with the ati 4500 card. and so did my wife on her windows pc with her Nvidia 7950gtx with same vistsa basic OS so i think its just some issue with issue 15.

I've been playing with the Mac client for a while now, and it runs fairly well. Just for kicks, I installed the PC client on Boot Camp expecting better performance, (since the Mac client is just the PC client with an emulator wrapped around it.)

My performance with the PC client running under Boot Camp is very jerky...I've never seen anything like it when using the Mac client, even at peak hours.
