At the moment I use both ATI Catalyst Control Center (for my 2 Crossfired HD4850) and AMD Overdrive (for my Phenom II X4 940). Is AMD Fusion worth downloading and what exactly can I do with it. oh, I'm a gamer (hardcore) btw.

with the rig you have it wouldn't make any difference , basically all it does is stop some services that are running in the background , if you had an old rig it would be worth it

You may want to check alacritypc it gives you all sorts of options including shutting down explorer and start up Items , to save Ram and also allows you to shut down and restart services . It is freeware by Ken Salter the creator of FSautostart This program works with VISTA

Hah, larrjeet certainly had the same problem as me in Vista ;). Never mind that, AMD fusion works perfectly in Vista, you just need to make a custom profile and disable AMD boost feature which crashes. So I guess it is as it has some nice options.

Ok retried it and it works great I did see an FSP increase on Xplane . I think you could use it in conjuntion With AlacrityPC to shut down VISTA explorer and Gain alot of ram

;) I knew it because you sounded angry and I was TOO. But that feature is useless anyway as it is only necessary in XP or older due to some driver optimizations.
