    I have been trying to install the latest ati driver 10.4 from the site and it will not install. The installation completes and i have the newest CCC but as soon as i hit finish it goes into a little box in the middle of the screen and i then get a message saying no graphics driver is installed. I have no idea why it is doing this but i also heard there are 10.6a drivers could i have a link to these?

    You would have to mobility mod it, search the forums for 10.6 alpha its newer and installs without issues.

    Thats the 10.6 alpha driver.

    You have to restart for it to show, and I think I got a failed notice also but it worked anyways, just had to restart.

    No huge performance gains that I can see, it does fix the BFBC2 Loading issue with the 5000 ATI cards, that was the largest change for me. It also has the video encoder (may need the new CCC for that)
