[QUOTE= Still not true (fortunately). Older ATI drivers don't need it at all; the most recent Catalyst drivers are still offered with either their Control Panel or the Control Center. Only the Control Center needs .net. Since, as yet, the Control Center + .net combination has proved to be mostly bloat, and most or all of its functions can be performed by much leaner custom apps, only those with fast machines are advised to even consider this option. Many ATI users are not intending to use versions of the Catalyst drivers past the date ATI stop releasing Control Panel versions. Scuttlebutt has it that this will be in the NEW Year, when Catalyst 6 is released.[/QUOTE]

You, like everyone else here, are entitled to their own opinions.

My mates, who are real mad gamers, prefer to have the full control centre download, and rate it highly.

I myself use the 7800 geeforce card, so am only able to advise on what I know from knowledge given by close friends and users of the ATI cards.

We are all here to do our bit to help, not score points of each other.
