The full suite of drivers include the usual graphics and video functionality, as ATI's drivers usually do.

Unlike previous drivers, however, ATI has been putting a lot of effort into these supposedly.. And optimization + stability should be the byproduct of their efforts.

I apologize for not having a link (In a hurry), but I originally read this at www.theregister.com and found actual benchmark results www.HardOCP.com

It would appear that Hard|OCP has found the drivers to improve general performance substantially, making the Radeon 8500 on par with the Gainward Geforce 4 4200.

I've been using the drivers quite successfully on my ATI Radeon 64DDR. I can honestly say I've had no problems yet in a wide variety of games. The last certified drivers ATI released were also quite stable.

it WAS in the news at 3DS

anyways, thx

Oh sorry Rick, I didn't see that you had posted about this here untill now...
