I got the 5.8 the day they came out and they work like crap on my system. I have a P4 3.2 Extreme Edition, 2Gb PC4000 RAM, and a new X800XL 256MB (which blew away my GF FX 5950 Ultra). I first installed the 5.7 Catalyst with CCC, and got great fps, but with a few problems with games like KotOR 2 and UT2K4 and texture glitches on most of the other ames I have. I then got the 5.8 Catalyst with CCC and had the bottom half of my screen constantly flickering until I booted up a game no matter what settings I put it to.

I later went out and got the Omega 5.7 Catalyst drivers and got much better fps and image quality (no texture glitches, etc on any of my games except for UT2K4). With those drivers, my gpu also runs cooler when I play games: my OC'ed X800XL no longer hits 65 C anymore, no matter how long I play.
