You downloaded the vista 64 version right? I think its just the vista 32 that is messed. The files size is too small.

I got it fixed. I had to manually install the 21MB display driver first, then install the 43MB Catalyst Suite package. Apparently, the Catalyst package isn't installing the display driver, it's only installing the Catalyst Control Center, Overdrive, etc. Odd. So, heads-up if you're having the same problem I was... Install display driver first, then the 43MB Catalyst suite. (Vista 32-bit).

Apparently there is some sort of issue with 4850CF in Vista x64. I would start to boot Vista (scrolling load bar at the bottom middle), then all of a sudden I would lose display signal and lock up (at the point when there is normally a brief pause, no display, then reset)
I'm back to 8.7 for now.

tweaktown did a 8.7-8.8 benchamark comparison.
Quote:
It was interesting to find that AMD hasn’t promised any performance improvements, yet we did see some in place. WIC performance is slightly up while UT3 performance under Vista also seems to be up a little. There are also extremely obvious gains under 3DMark Vantage for the HD 4000 series cards.

It seems mainly that the latest driver release was all about bug fixes, though, as the list for fixes in both XP and Vista are actually quite extensive. It also seems clear that AMD have adjusted their focus to the HD 4000 series of cards, which doesn’t really come as a surprise.
