- It should work fine, the driver supports any Radeon card from the 9500 and up.

- it's not just me is it...these new drivers (as expected, i think) don't run CS 1.6 as well as their older ones do. i used to use cat 5.10's (omega drivers, tho) and now i think i'm on cat 8.5 same hardware and it just doesn't seem to run as well.
i just want to make sure that's normal before i go and try to find 5.10 again -

- Aye ATI's drivers have made CS 1.6 run sluggish for quite some time now :/. http://www.ngohq.com/home.php?page=Files&a...p;dwn_cat_id=14 - Archive of all the old Omega Driver releases, i've found 2.5.97a aka Catalyst 4.12, works best with my 9700pro.

- here in the Philippines, I can say that Counter-Strike is still the most played LAN game, as many gamers still play it.
