I believe MSI (as do all) distrubutes ATI drivers. Installing the latest drivers from MSI's (I believe it's just a redirect to ATI's) or ATI's site *might* give you a slight performance increase (we're talking 2-3%).

If it's temporary, I'd recommend the generic ATI 5.11 Catalyst drivers, control panel version, not catalyst control center version. This is the last version that doesn't require .NET Framework. There really isn't any advantage to trying to tweak a X300 Hypermemory card - it's a low end card.
