ATI today released the download of the second Catalyst driver update for 2006. Catalyst 6.2 brings the usual list of bug fixes for games (BattleField 2, Half-Life 2, World of Warcraft) and applications (AutoCAD, Windows XP MCE, HDTV). However, Catalyst 6.2 is also the first driver update to support ATI's latest graphic chip X1900 and graphic cards carrying the X1900 XT, XTX and Crossfire version of graphics processor.

One of the more dramatic changes in the driver is a new wizard-based user interface for the Catalyst Control Center, which simplifies the configuration of common tasks.
