omega are far better than official ati, typically they will give u better performance over the official ones (but we're talking like 5-7 extra fps in a game like counterstrike:source).

Radlinker comes with it so u can overclock gfx card, altho i'm sure most people would recommend u download ATItool to overclock ur card.

The good thing about Omega is they only do stock tweaks. That is, they dont go beyond what you couldnt easily do for youself, they just know what/how to do it so you dont have to.
