Is there any Catalyst motherboard driver yet?
Just askin' since my temporary board is an ATi board... although I must admit, the Vista drivers do work, they kinda have their instabilities (as in, I even got a Red screen of death while installing, the ones that aren't supposed to exist)

Can't install catalyst on windows 7. I have Ati radeon 3450. I have all the drivers, but no cataylst. Installer stucks at one point. Any ideas?
