I want to upgrade my ATI drivers for my Radeon 9700Pro to Cat 4.12 (from
4.7). The ATI site has two versions -- one with "Control Center"
(28mb), and one with "ATI Control Panel" (22mb).

Can someone explain the difference between the two and give me a
recommendation on which to use? I'm running WinXPPro, if it matters.

Thanks!

Do not install the CCC if you know what's good for you, all you need is
the control panel. When I last had Catalysts installed (I use Omegas)
the CCC caused my system (a64/x800/1 gig ddr400/220 gig SATA, etc.) to
take literally 4-5x longer to boot completely. It is bloatware.

Totally agree - CCC is pants. I can't understand while ATI are still pushing
it when it is clearly a load of cak.

I also agree. If you go to ATI's website and read the known issues section
with the new CCC, you'll see that there are still a bunch of issues with it.
If I was ATI, I wouldn't have released it at all just yet. It's an
embarrassment.

LOL, most if not all software companies these days issue buggy stuff all the
time, as patching takes away the need for thorough testing etc.
