Well, I got home yesterday to find what Win7 had shut down and
restarted. It reported that the ATI driver had a problem. So, I get
directed to ATIs website where i got the 10.2 drivers. I install
them...then ran WEI and it crashes the PC.
I think I regret getting an ATI board.

I believe you will have to upgrade to a 5000 series card to see the
benefits. Tempting no?

All this is great. But I have a 4890 and what is the perf gain on
that card?

10.2 is supposed to be out but when I checked it still showed 10.1.
Maybe later on today it will show up. Legit Reviews touts it as a
"major" update.
"By far the Application Profiles feature is the coolest feature in
Catalyst 10.2. I think it will revolutionize the way drivers will be
updated. If it works as well as it looks like it will, we will see
performance gains much sooner for newly released game titles.
Despite not having as much of a cool factor as the application
profiles does, let's not forget about the ATI PowerPlay. By
downloading and updating to CATALYST 10.2 video card drivers, it
means that consumers can save money on your electric bill, which is
fantastic. Reducing your systems power draw by 7-12 Watts may not
seem like a whole lot, but over time it does add up. If you are like
me and leave your computer on pretty much 24/7 it will save you
money in the long run. It's not every day that you get new features,
improved performance and a reduction in power. This is by far one of
the greatest updates in CATALYST history!
As for the Catalyst 10.3 drivers, I have to say that I am looking
forward to the 3D capabilities of it. I personally think that a nice
3-monitor Eyefinity configuration running in 3D will completely
change the face of gaming! I may have to start saving my pennies for
that.
/*Legit Bottom Line:* With as much as a 22% performance gain as seen
in Colin McRae: DiRT 2. Plus all the new features that make the
Catalyst Suite 10.2/10.3 what it is, this Suite is a must have
especially considering the cost of FREE!"/
