    Well..it's just a matter of time now. ATI drops version 9.3 today, which supposedly gives much better performance in Win7 - and hopefully provides better performance all the way around. I'll try to keep checking up on it, and as soon as it's available I'll post the download link. This driver is the "new hotness", or so they are making it out to be. Guess we'll see! :)

    yeah i have been waiting for these....some people say when installing new catalyst drivers to just reinstall windows all over again and then use the new drivers..is there a 100% proven way to uninstall and install the new drivers with no conflicts or issues?

    I just uninstall them and use driversweeper to get rid of any leftovers I don't see how reinstalling Windows could be any better than that as Driversweeper get rid of even the registry entries.

    Do theset need to be modded in anyway? Or a straight install from ATI will do?
