The most recent one, updated Oct.2, gave me about 5 FPS.
My refresh rate on my monitor is 85, would like to move it up to 100, but not sure. SONY TRINITRON 20"
Is someone using this type of monitor? CPU 3.0 1 gig memory with ATI 9800 Pro 128.

Upgrading to the latest Omega Drivers (v2.5.90) resulted in a 3% increase in the Aquamark3 score compared to the previous version of Omega Drivers on a Mobile XP 2500+ @ 2.6 GHz running a 9600 Pro @ 475/680 (340x2)

Not a big change here, 3 - 4 fps. But rock solid, trouble free, with full control.

Overall I'd recomend em.

Agreed,
Plus, they don't use that monstrous new Control Panel based on .Net.  They also have a buit-in version of driver cleaner for easy driver updates.

Okay guys you sold me. I disinstalled the ATI Cats, reinstalled DirectX, installed the Omegas and reinstalled DirectX again.

Now...any tips for tweaking the CP for my system which is:
P4 1.8 with 512 SDRAM ?
