Default [TPU] AMD Posts ATI Catalyst Windows 7 Preview Driver Suite
Quote:
Windows 7 is Microsoft's next major PC operating system. Early non-retail versions of this OS may have already made it to certain sections of the industry, and this calls for hardware support. AMD is ready with its ATI Catalyst driver suite for Windows 7. The driver itself is titled ATI Catalyst Windows 7 Preview Driver Package. As the name suggests, it is at an experimental/early stage, much like the OS itself. Use of it is not covered by any warranty. It provides support for ATI Radeon HD 2000 series, HD 3000 series, HD 4000 series, derived mobile GPUs, and AMD 7 series chipsets with integrated graphics.

The 32-bit version of the driver can be downloaded from here, and the 64-bit version here.

I'm kinda lost here... what exactly do these drivers do?

Well given that Windows 7 isnt even in beta stages yet...seems pointless.

So that when Windows 7 is ready, they will have a pair of working drivers that don't make you BSOD.

No one said they won't cause a BSOD (or any other issues). They are experimental drivers meant for a BETA version of windows. Odds are good they're very buggy at this point.
