ATI Catalyst 9.5 is Now Official, Release Notes too
ATI has finally updated its web page to include the official WHQL version of ATI Catalyst 9.5, four days after we first informed you that the driver is ready and provided you with download links. The driver packs uploaded on the AMD servers should be exactly the same as the once we have uploaded on our page last week. Below the text separator are the final release notes and everything you need to know about the 9.5 release. This time I'll link you to AMD GAME! for downloads, but remember our links from the previous post here are still operational and can do the work.

I've not tried gaming yet, but for what I play I don't anticipate any real issues in performance.
With 2 X2s you should be running happily. What are they not doin that has been advertised.
I'm curious as I've been kicking around the idea of a second X2.
My rig works fine with one.
I want it back soo bad I might just set a dual boot to be able to use it.
HEHE

Okay here is the scoop..
ATI originally had linked the Avivo Video Converter for Vista 64 file named >> 9-5_vista32_xcodeWHICH WAS WRONG!
Now ATI has linked Avivo Video Converter for Vista 64 file named >> 9-5_vista32-64_xcode
