These latest drivers come with ATI's bloatware CCC. A whopping 64.35MB when installed. ATI has officially dropped the nice and small Control Panel with this release too. Oh, and don't forget, you'll need to install Microsoft's .NET (35.15MB) if you want to use the Control Centre.
ATI are going from "don't buy our products" to "pretty please don't buy our products!"
I currently have an XT1800XT which replaced an XT850XT and have been a fond supporter of ATI. With driver releases like this however, I see an NVIDEA 7800GTX 512MB in my very near future.
