ATI CCC to replace Control Panel?

[Geoff]

Wow - their is a non ccc driver setup available from ATI? That's good to
know. I run a x850 on 2 monitors, is CP faster than CCC, how is the
support for two monitors? I would like to end all those running apps on
my system. It always upsets me to see (what is it) 5 or 6 aps running
under task manager for CCC? I upgrade religiously, does CP keep up with
its upgrades?

.NET doesn't bother me, I had to download it for NASA World Wind, and
Google Earth. But I can't figure out why ATI wants to use this bloatware.
(Except to keep an eye on me?)

eh? google earth uses .net ?

i think you lose a few minor controls by using the CP version, not sure what
exactly, if anything at all ??
i run multi monitor no problem
ati may bin off CP complety, so don't count on it staying

I don't know. I assumed it did as when I was moving around the network
light was blinking like crazy. If they weren't using .NET then they were
using something like it. I would have to dig into it to tell for sure. It
is a smaller footprint, and has some advantages over NASA World Wind. The
animated cities are funny.

I do know NASA uses .NET, lots of fun. I wish they offered even more
detail. Love flying over the earth at an angle. Swooping down canyons,
lakes, and up mountains. I especially like the Mediterranean. But the
governments don't like detailed information - go figure.

Thanks, I guess I'll stay with what I have.

..net is microsoft's version of java, it has nothing to do with networks

(unless i made big boo boo that is)

they currently make both CCC and CP versions, although they hide the CP
versions away in the website, you have to dig for it under other products
(normaly the 'pro' type ones atm)

i got cat 6.3 CP version, seems fine on my x800

A link would be great, Geoff. The best I could find is an integrated
driver/CP for the Fire GL series. Thx.

 

[No.Thanks]

I'm not Geoff but hear is what was said by " Dr Teeth

v6.3 is available with the good old control panel. Check out the
current drivers fir the Fire MV card...they work fine on Radeons too!

I just looked for that version, Fire MV, and installed it and it works
fine with my X1900XTX!

Geoff:

It has everything to do with networks. It's all about networks. It's about
making your programs network "aware". Thin client, keep some resources
local, and some on the Internet for use. It's the next big push for MS.
It's a whole set of calls, hooks, and snippets instantly available in your
programming language to make the Internet instantly available to you
program.

All MS programming languages are now .NET aware. Welcome to the age of the
Internet, like it or not.

Cool. Thanks.

Yes, the FireMV drivers seem ideal, I was quite excited when I picked up
your tip!! I've been meaning to upgrade from 5.11 to at least 6.something
for ages now. But the MV driver/control bundle is too large for my
dial-up connection, which resets every 2 hours. It is hard to use a
download manager/accelerator with ATI (only one of mine can issue a
referer and neither do https anyway!) so, since the MV drivers are still
6.3, I went and got myself 6.3 Omega drivers instead, which I could
download in easy stages using a manager. I'm very pleased with them,
combined with using the tray controls to enable AI and more. Nice! ;-) (I
do "only" have a 9600PRO and probably gain nothing out of AI with the
games that I run, but still, it's the thought that counts!!)
