I've updated the first post to include the newly released Catalyst 9.6 driver. I added both 32-bit and 64-bit drivers for Windows Vista & Windows 7. If someone requests a Windows XP driver I may be inclined to modify one for that platform, but otherwise I'll leave it as-is.
Thanks for all your efforts but I'd like to request an XP driver as I'm not adventurous enough to try another platform because I'm playing Oblivion at the moment and don't want to lose anything but would like to gain more with minimum effort from me, I'm selfish.
Bill-
This is excellent; just what I've been looking for to get CCC working properly on my iMac. I only have one problem here: I followed your directions (for the CCC 9.5 32 Bit XP drivers), found the proper driver, began the install, and after a few seconds of copying files over, it stopped and gave me this message:
Setup cannot copy the file ati2mtag.sy_
If I try to continue without installing, it cannot find several more files; eventually, I cancelled the driver install. Tried doing the driver setup several times, rebooting the computer, redownloading the package from your link, etc. No dice. What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks much for all the time and work you put into this!

Yep, used WinRAR to unpack the archive. Didn't have any extraction errors as far as I could see, but I'll run it again and check. If that doesn't work, might try to unpack using UnRARX in Leopard and copying the files to Windows that way, see if it makes a difference. Thanks much!
*Sigh* Well, the UnRARX unpack worked just fine, but now, for some reason, my monitor is stuck at 640x480 in full 4-Bit glory. Drivers appear to be updated (at least as of 4/28/2009), but don't seem to be working properly. Might have to roll back to the official Boot Camp drivers. Any thoughts?
Wait until tomorrow when I post updated drivers. It sounds like one or more of the files in the archive that you downloaded is corrupted, and as such, Windows did not install the driver properly.
Performance would be the same as that of the official driver from AMD. These have been modified for compatibility, not anything else.
I was looking to compare them against the default drivers from Apple. Also... I'm looking to use a custom resolution for Crysis since 1440x900 is not selectable from the OS resolution set. I believe the CCC is needed to do this.
I tried to install both of your drivers on my iMac 24" 3.06ghz and I simply cannot see the driver when I select the right .inf file when I manually add a new hardware (graphic card). I must seriously do something wrong... Could you guys tell me how you do proceed to make it work !? I tried all the possible ways to install a new hardware I know and I simply can't get it to work.
Thanks a lot !
Thanks a lot !
This thread is seriously out of date. The Mobility Modder does everything that I did manually automatically and also works with the control panel.
