Cat 4.12 - Which Version to Use?
I want to upgrade my ATI drivers for my Radeon 9700Pro to Cat 4.12 (from
4.7). The ATI site has two versions -- one with "Control Center" (28mb), and one with "ATI Control Panel" (22mb). Can someone explain the difference between the two and give me a recommendation on which to use? I'm running WinXPPro, if it matters. Thanks! |

Do not install the CCC if you know what's good for you, all you need is the control panel. When I last had Catalysts installed (I use Omegas) the CCC caused my system (a64/x800/1 gig ddr400/220 gig SATA, etc.) to take literally 4-5x longer to boot completely. It is bloatware. -- DeRanger Tactical Gamer www.tacticalgamer.com Your source for tactical online gaming. |

If you go to ATI's website and read the known issues section with the new CCC, you'll see that there are still a bunch of issues with it. If I was ATI, I wouldn't have released it at all just yet. It's an embarrassment. |
