If anyone was having trouble updating their x1300 card like I was with 7.8, ATI seems to have fixed the problem with 7.9. I noticed on ATI's website that the drivers in the search section for the x1300 were not listed as grouped with the x1550 like they were for 7.8 (when doing an update search they were grouped together ie x1300/x1550). Now they are listed seperately. Not sure if they had people downloading the wrong drivers or not with 7.8.
New versions always improve FPS slightly, so cant wait to test.
