    After some debate I figured it would be good to just end this and see which people uninimously feel is better... if any ppl want to post benchmarks with both that would be great... also comment on stability if you can... or just vote... thx....

    I recently had some problems with a black screen coming on at boot. Took off the ati cats and put on the omegas and it was gone... needless 2 say omega gets my seal of approval... seems great so far... now 2 see how it plays in games... :)
