    EDIT: Nevermind about the reinstalling part, I got it taken care of. But please, still answer the following:

    I spose I should ask, are the Catalyst 6.6 drivers better or worse than the Omega 3.8.252 drivers for game (IE: FEAR and Call of Duty 2) performance? Also, with the Omega drivers, is there a way to further optimize or overclock them for even better performance? I have a cooling pad on the way, so I wouldn't be afraid to OC the card if someone would tell me how! :)

    I spose since this topic is now in the gaming section, I ought to ask the following questions for input.

    When I downloaded the F.E.A.R. demo a few days ago, I used the optimize system settings and then upped most of the options for better graphics, and the game looked stunning. However, today I got the full version of the game, and the optimal system settings are like 640x480x32 with minimal/off on all options. Why is that? And what systems should my system run?

    Dell E1505
    Duo Core 1.86 GHz
    1 GB RAM (2x256)
    256 MB ATI Mobility X1400
