I'd always recommend going with the latest version of the driver. There will be one on the CD that comes with the card (unless you got the cheaper OEM version of the card which doesn't include the driver, cables, screws, etc...) but the version on the CD could be several months/years out of date, whereas the one on the ATI website is the very latest version.

I find 'em useful, cause the insides of my case used to be a big mess, and as the temp was rising as I added more kit, I decided to use them as a cheap way of increasing airflow. You could use those tie-thingies, but I find the round IDE cables more convenient. ...and mine are a nice shade of blue too
Oh, and the FDD cable has a smaller socket on the end than the hard drive cable, so you wouldn't be able to plug it into your motherboard. Plus my hard drive cables have the 2 sockets (1 for slave and one for master) on one end, whereas my floppy drive cable only has the one socket. I'm sure there's a more scientific way of identifying them, but that's all I use
