Which ones do I use?

I'm a little confused, they've got two drivers up, one of which is a 9.4 from April, and the other of which claims to be a Windows 7 WHQL driver from this month, but is only versioned 8.something.

On my previous Win7 install, I went with the ones that claimed to be WHQL for Win7, but that turned out to be a lie, Windows says they aren't signed.

I was also a little concerned because the ATI suite in both XP and 7 were reporting my fan as running pretty much constantly at only 12%, even in the middle of a game, and I had one instance of a total video crash in LOTRO (screen turned to grey and yellow vertical bars).

I installed 9.4. It said it was for Win 7.

I stuck with the ones that shipped with it, as frankly my computer speed score was actually pretty darned reasonable. That said, it is a laptop running an HD2600, which is problematic to play with the drivers on.

I ran Witcher just fine on the drivers that came with the OS... won't bother updating them unless I find weird artifacts or crashing in other games.

I ran the vista64 drivers (9.2 methinks. on my netbook right now) and they run without a problem. I have tested older and newer games and they run fine. The scaling works awesome btw, for older games.

I was having some trouble in both the default Win7 drivers, and the beta Win7 drivers on the ATI site, so I went and installed the Vista/Win7 9.4 drivers, and am hoping some of my problems go away.
