You only need to install the .NET Framework if you run applications that are built using the .NET Framework.

Personally, I've always installed 1.1 and 2.0. You never know when you may need them for some application and I've never noticed any sort of performance issue with them.

ATI offers standalone display drivers without CCC.

Yeh, but will I be able to change settings for games that do not offer 3D settings inside them? For example if I want to enable AF, V-Sync / triple buffer.

Yes you can. The problems usually arise when you disable Catalyst AI. AA seems to quit working when I disable it, so I just leave it set to 'standard.'
