Re: Latest Radeon X1K GPU
I think those notebok versions should come after 1 month or so.

It doesn't exist. It was a rumour back then but ATI revealed as the Radeon X1650.

Re: Latest Radeon X1K GPU
I'll only be remotely interested in ATI again when they slim down the Catalyst Control Center or do away with it entirely.

CCC is here to stay, using .net is part of Microsoft's plan for Vista user design interface.
"One of the guys that led the driver team, Terry Makedon, told us more than year ago that this is how Microsoft wants you to make drivers for Longhorn, now known as Vista."
See Here
I would use Tray Tools, but I was never able to find the option for "maintain aspect ratio" in games. Not sure if you need CCC installed to take advantage of AVIVO playback

The Radeon X1950XTX is nothing more than an X1900XTX with GDDR4 (1GHz) memory:

Doesn't seem like it helped a lot. Still, 64GB/s memory bandwidth is insane.
