No problem. As soon as a review for 6.4 pops up I'll post it.

Crossfire AFR mode now works in Oblivion. Users wanting HDR with FSAA still
need to use the "Chuck" release, though.

I have a Radeon X850XT and I downloaded, uninstalled 6.3 and then
installed 6.4 and this is the first time in a very long time that I
needed to go back to 6.3.

The first time I started the Catalyst Control Panel, it caused an
error and shut down, Microsoft created an error report and sent it
out. It seemed to be working okay after that.

I also have an old ATI TV Tuner (PCI). For some reason it wanted to
go through an initialization wizard when it is started. When I did
get it working, it seems like every channel showed a gray NO SIGNAL
box right in the middle of the screen, and there definitely is a
signal.

When I discovered it wants to go through the initialization routine
every time it starts up, I went back to 6.3.

Installed 6.4. Had no problems. Performance doesn't seem to have changed at
all. One thing that I DID like, however, is that this time I was able to
replace the "C:\Documents and Settings\$user\Local Settings\Application
Data\ATI\ACE\Profiles.xml" that exists after installing Cat 6.4 from a
cleaned state with the profiles.xml (From cat 6.3) that contains the
profiles I painstaking created in Cat 6.3. Previously, the profiles.xml's
were not compatible from release to release which meant your profiles were
completely mangled.

Would be nice if there were an easier way to export/backup CCC profiles.

It's still a piece of #&%@ with my AIW 800XL PCIE card with regards to the
TV portion. If I don't care about watching/recording TV, it's fine.
Unfortunately, I use it to record TV shows. Falling back to 6.2 yet again.

Those All in Wonder's sure have a bad reputation on line.

Oddly enough, I've got a 3dfx 3500 running in an old box
with hacked drivers in Win2k that can even record video
(pretty small image though). The TV portion works great
still. I recall a friend's old all in wonder card just went
bottoms up after about 18 months, just unwatchable.

I was reading this and I thought I would be smart and update the drivers for
the AIW Radeon 9600 I just got for my 4 year old P4 1.5 GHz system. I had
just recently intalled the card and the setup from the included Catalyst CD.
All worked fine including the TV etc. I went ahead and installed the new
Catalyst and my TV function totally crapped with halting jerky pictures that
would freeze. Everything else seemed OK but I hadn't actually tried any
demanding apps yet. Went back to the CD installation and all is well again.
What gives with this thing? It was listed as the choice for my type of
card.
