For me, the Catalyst 4.8 drivers don't work, but the 4.9 beta (made for Doom 3, NOTHING ELSE) do work. WTF :| LOL

Nah :| for now IMo ur safer without it

the ONLY fucken reason that people r saying its so good is BECAUSE ITS FOR FUCKEN NOOBS man .. the only thing they added on was like popupblocker and some tolher tshit, but all taht crap causes more problems than it solves. but obviously itll get better eventually... the only remaining problem may be comaptbiltiy.. lol u cant even play those old games on it nemore.. U could play MOnopoly (from those little ceral boxes) on windows xp b4 sp2

Instead of posting this in the other Win XP SP2 topic, where it was originally mentioned, I'll just post it here since it's pretty much the same thing. I just wanted to give an FYI to all of ya to let ya know that you can get the SP2 CD in like 1 week or less instead of the 6-8 weeks. I ordered mine just a little while back and got it today. I'm not gonna install it though, at least not until a lot of the bugs have been worked out.
