New ATI Catalyst and Drivers Update
Hey guys there is a slick new Catalyst for ATI owners. It's got really sweet interface now and has upped my performance at least 20%.
Get it from ATT's site. You must have the Microsoft Net Framework installed. There is a direct link to install it if you don't have it.
Just an FYI.

RE: New ATI Catalyst and Drivers Update
Bummer it recommends SP2 installed. Unfortunately a lot of drivers for the AMD 939 CPU MOBO chip sets aren't compatible yet. If you gone 64 bit and done an sp2 upgrade consider yourself lucky. But then again with sub 40 second pifast benches speed is not an issue

RE: New ATI Catalyst and Drivers Update
Long story cut short....ive had to uninstall it.
first off the performance dropped in AFP, to about 150fps
2, i had huge problems starting up my PC. usually when i log into my user name its instant. but with this installed id have to wait 1/2 and hour, yes you read that correct! if i didnt wait till the ATI icon was on the task bad the mouse would freeze and i couldnt do anything, not even bring up task manager
So its gone
