    This release note provides information on the latest posting of AMD's industry leading software suite, Catalyst. This particular software suite updates both the AMD Display Driver (version 8.351.3), and the Catalyst Control Center (version 7.3).

    Performance Improvements: Dark Messiah Might and Magic performance improves 12.5% or greater on all Radeon X1000 series configurations when running in CrossFire mode under both the Windows XP and Windows Vista operating systems. Larger gains of 60% or more can be seen on high end products.
