I found the beta Windows 7 drivers for the ATI Catalyst software suite when I was looking for drivers for the motherboard I just bought (GIGABYTE GA-MA790XT-UD4P AM3 DDR3 AMD 790X (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128378))

Link is here (http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/integrated_vista64.aspx?type=2.7&product=&lang=English&rev=9.3&ostype=) for those drivers.

Also, the ATI Catalyst Windows 7 Beta driver (I assume this is just for the video drivers?) here (http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/radeonaiw-win7beta.aspx?type=2.7&product=&lang=English&rev=&ostype=). This is version 8.561

Doh! I was looking for a related thread in the software forums. These do contain more than just the video drivers, such as the chipset drivers?

Catalyst 9.3 is video only.

I was just making sure (since you're the primary hardware/software guru here) because the release notes claim they do

The Catalyst™ Software Suite 9.3 contains the following:
Radeon™ display driver 8.591
HydraVision™ for both Windows XP and Vista
HydraVision™ Basic Edition (Windows XP only)
WDM Driver Install Bundle
Southbridge/IXP Driver
Catalyst™ Control Center Version 8.591

Southbridge/IXP driver is for the motherboards with integrated Radeon GPUs on the southbridge. Your motherboard uses the AMD SB750 southbridge, which requires an AMD driver.

I search for that on AMD's website, and there's no results returned, though further down on the page I linked, there is the southbridge driver. Don't know if its the correct one.
