Morning News  by James W at 10:59

mIRC 6.16 has been released, again its mostly bug fixes. A full change list is available here, and you can get the update here.

HardOCP reports there is a new virus doing the rounds so remember to update your virus scanners.

Yesterday saw an update for the ATI Catalyst drivers, bringing them to 4.7. Performance improvements are mentioned so ATI users should check them out. Download

Day of Defeat fans will be glad to hear there is an update that brings various updates and new maps. A changelog is available over at steampowered.com

Oh, and yes, another IE flaw.

Quick poll: Do people change their ATI drivers even when there's no pressing need to?

I think a lot of people would if new features or performance improvements are expected. I dont have an ATI card so I cant say I have a clue what each Catalyst update brings. I did hear that there is a new feature in these drivers that means if your FPS goes low it automatically turns AA off, and if you get a very high FPS it turns it on a higher AA setting. Sounds quite sensible if it works in practice.
