On that note, how are ATI's drivers for Windows 7?

Any advantage to using this over 182.06?

I'm not having any problems (or any more than normal) with the regular Vista drivers.

There are some minor changes with regard to WDDM 1.1 that are advantageous, such as being able to use non-homogeneous drivers (i.e. an ATI card and an NVIDIA card). I would not recommend using Vista drivers on W7.

You can use regular Vista drivers in Win7...I'm using the 9.2 in Win7 64-bit right now.

I notice that this driver doesn't list all the game optimizations that the 182.06 driver lists in its description. Fear 2 loading times were much improved with the 182.06 driver.
