You use the same drivers for 2000!!! I think someone is not paying attention on the screen during the driver load and it says XP/2000..... *wink* *nudge* :unsure::)

There, I feel better now. I do have moments of "un-awareness" from time to time.

Yeah, that would work, but an ARVIL would probably be alot easier to come by & will pack more of a punch & give off more fireworks :D

 

Oh & by the way ParoxysM, I'm running Catalyst drivers 4.3 & no issues to report so far. All games & app's running w/o hitch or slowdown. I just thought that U would like to know :(
