By now you probably heard about the Adaptive AA feature, accessible via a
registry edit, in Catalyst 5.9, as described here:
http://www.beyond3d.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24069

For the record, the function worked on my 9800 Pro. The tree leaves in BF2
now look much smoother. In the end the game is too slow on my card with
regular AA, let alone the increased workload. Still good to see new features
a year after purchasing the card, though. There was much forethought in
making Smoothvision programmable.

Just took a look at that thread, where it says,
"5A61609A-036A-4D32-B447-F0E42DA9714D this number is different for every one
, you may have multiple numbers at the location because of multiple driver
installation but only one is active."

Yip, I have multiple numbers, loads and loads of them, some which say
catalyst version 4.9 and older !!!

So a question, can you delete those older entries without any ill-effects,
or are they needed ?

It *should* be safe; so back up your registry before deleting the older
entries. I would retain the other entries for the standard VGA adapter, so
Windows has something to fall back onto if you need to uninstall ATi
drivers.

Hmmm......indeed.
I guess if I spent the time sorting out all the older ati registry settings,
I might speed things up a bit, so I'll do a back-up and have a fiddle. :)

Anyway !

I Tried the Adaptive AA tweek and sure enough, it appeared in CCC, so I
enabled it, run Battlefield 2, and didn't like it at all........

But hey worth a try !

:)
