Anyone using the 8500 6011 beta drivers for XP

If so are they any better than the 7286??
Noticed ATi have not come out with anything yet.

Using them with my VIVO, they seem fine. As a bonus, you get a new "rotate" tab in display properties, click rotate 90% or whatever and BAM instant reboot (hehe, its for LCD monitors that support Landcape or Portrait mode, but I had to try it out...should be greyed out with unsupported hardware, but it is beta)

Cool.
Aslong as they seem okay.
Not sure if I should try them out or leave it because got system exactly working good.
I suppose system restore would do the trick!!!

well if you want my opinion as a normal Radeon user, they are pretty sweet (6011's being equal to the 9008s in windows 98).

I also get that rotate tab, and it works perfectly! LOL...

the only thing I could think of using it for is hanging a monitor upside down or something! hehe.. but ya it's for LCD users who can flip their monitors around.

Rotate works fine on my CRT, not that I have any use for it. I suppose it could come in handy with an arcade emu machine also.

6011's are very nice on my Radeon & W2K.
