More drivers is good, they are adding more features and fixing bugs. New display mode support is pretty sweet,

.......... and the first digit represents the year. So for example, Catalyst 6.4 drivers would have been released in April of 2006.

Wow you mean that ATI actually has a logical naming scheme? Too bad NVIDIA doesn't

I'll give these 8.9s a shot. Hopefully these ones actually work unlike the 8.8s...

Ive been having CF issues with 8.8 as well. Took a while to see them but I get flashing screen every once in a while. Going to install 8.9 tonight.
