    Damn, from 3.10 to 4.1? That was fast...

    Ok boys and girls, just remember to use the ATI cleanup utility before installing the new ones.

    Bless me father for I did the cardinal sin of cat installation and went clean over the 3.10. No issues yet but not fully tested either.

    Oh well I'm doing a total format anyhow once WXP sp2 goes final.

    There is a obvious reason why there isn't a 4.0, but where the hell 3.11 and 3.12 went, i have no idea.

    Cat 3.9
    3.10 (the illogical step) <--( shouldn't that be 4.0?)

    I am dumb. Why wouldn't they use 4.0?? (if it is in fact obvious, you guys can make fun of me)

    It's only my logical guess.

    They probably skipped the number 4, for the same reason as Arctic Silver.
    It is plain bad luck to use the number 4, in some Asian country.
    I didn't mention what country it is, because it is being discussed on the internet.
    It is: Taiwan, China or Japan, you choose.

    They use the numbers as year/month. Hence why no 4.0 set of drivers.
    They have 3.0 but i think that was the start of DX9 support.

    From what I read when the 3.10's came out, the 1st number is the year and the 2nd number is the sequence, i.e, the 3.10's were the tenth set of drivers in '03 and 4.1's are the first drivers in '04, etc.

    These 4.1's seem to give me problems in Call of Duty. I get a crash and it says the vpu needs to be reset and I have to reboot. Re-installed 3.10's and all is good. Just a heads up.

    I got that with the 3.10 and below also. Turn off VPU auto recover(or whatever its called) and AGP fast writes and you should be good to go.

    All I really play as far as games are concerned is Enemy Territory and CFS3 ...both work fine so I'll stick with 4.1's.
