ATI and Nvidia driver updates

Hot on the heels of Nvidia's WHQL release, ATI has made their WHQL-Vista drivers available

With the Vista release for businesses just 4 weeks away hardware companies are rushing to make sure their hardware will work. Not being Vista ready would slash sales of any company.

Getting the WHQL stamp of approval implies compatibility, stability and acceptable performance. The drivers are available on the recently-turned-AMD-green ATI website.

Separately, in an attempt to stay one up on ATI, Nvidia has released drivers that accelerate high-definition video performance.

HD-DVD and Blu-ray will be the benefactors of this release however with so few HDCP chips available and even fewer HD-DVD and Blu-ray drives out there we're not sure who would want the drivers.
