Well I suppose theres some truth to that, but new drivers normally offer better performance, and maybe a few bug fixes in certain games. I always install the latest drivers, even though i've never had a problem with the old ones. I just like to keep up with the times I guess ;).

Just download the new drivers, uninstall the old ones, restart and then install the new ones.

The 42mb ones are the ones with the newer control panel, much more flash than the old one.

Have to admit, after reading that, I kinda lost faith in the Omega Drivers.

I have Omega version of 4.7 installed atm, have just d/l ATI 4.10, will install those to replace Omega 4.7 drivers tomorrow (when I have a clear head :D )

Honestly, I didn't notice any significant improvements anywhere with the Omega drivers, although I will say they worked well. It's just that I couldn't see how they're better.
