Is there any Catalyst motherboard driver yet?
Just askin' since my temporary board is an ATi board... although I must admit, the Vista drivers do work, they kinda have their instabilities (as in, I even got a Red screen of death while installing, the ones that aren't supposed to exist)

Sorri for doublepost. When it stucks, it says: "Enumerating source media for installable packages"...
