I noticed the note about DVD playback being problematic is now gone.
Anyone try these recently after observing nothing in the 'notes' column?
I'd really just like something faster than 8.0 but stable. Mobile Modded Catalyst 4.8 and 4.9 show improvement, but coming up from standby crashes the machine with those drivers, and I need that function for work presentations.(So I don't have to wait for bootup and program load)
4.9 has choppy playback using the hardware overlay, so I'm told, so you have to disable the acceleration in your DVD player software.
Version 4.10 Catalyst refuses to be modded.
Omega drivers are out because they seem to suck more battery. What happens seems to indicate more CPU usage, even when it should be idle. Instead of speed-stepping sitting around 600-800 Mhz(max battery in BIOS), it's at full clock speed about 80% of the time while the desktop sits idle.
Again, the question is wether Sager fixed the DVD playback issue with 8.04.
