Downloaded and installed the W2k's yesterday. I'm impressed. EVERYTHING works on my AIW Radeon now.

Downloaded and installed the new "certified" drivers for Radeon. (Work with ANY Radeon). They are stable and faster . . . the beta is faster yet, but stability can be at risk in some systems. In XP Pro 6015 is A-1. The occasional freeze ups when scrolling in Anandtech notes has gone away. :)

Wow. The 6025 are amzing. My #1 game right now is UT and I got a real 2x bots in my framerates. Right now I am avreging 75 FPS at 1024x768x32 from 35 FPS before with suported or batas for XP. Similar improvements in other games as well. Now my system is runing faster with XP then it did with ME which I did not expect for a while. Now I would realy like to see some new benchmarks done between the R8500 and the GF3Ti500 espetialy with The Unreal Performance Test or Unreal 2. I get higher with v-sync disabled, up to 300 fps in glide mode before the actual game starts, double what I had before. Good drivers from ATI at last. Can't wait until tey improve them some more.
