Just FYI, as it is pertinent.  The current crop of ATI cards and drivers work fine with Aces High II.  There are no driver issues at this time, with the 48xx series and the current driver.

However, I would not install the ATI Catalyst Control Center, nor the ATI sound card driver.  Just install the basic driver, then grab Ray Adams ATI Tools and use it for anything advanced.

By the way, the 4850 Toxic from Sapphire, runs pretty cool and very quiet.  It is also overclocked from the ATI standard reference card.

Skuzzy,I looked up Ray's Ati tools,and looks very nice..I guess I will just download it and "RUN" it and it will know where to go??

As far as the basic drivers,do you mean just download ASUS drivers which come with it,or go to ATI's site and find some other one??

 I will be getting it Wenesday...

The ATI driver didn't run as smooth for me as the Asus driver did. I actually downloaded the driver from the Asus FTP site, it isn't released on the main site yet. I got it from here ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/vga/ATI/ From that point I followed Skuzzy's advice and glad I did :)
