I'm surprised Protos hasn't made an appearence in this thread yet, LOL!
About Catalyst AI...
It was originally designed as preloaded "optimizations" for various games/apps. I think as drivers/hardware change they only do this for the most popular ones now. But I do know for sure having AI on advanced was mandatory for ATI X850 series and earlier cards with 6.11 drivers or older.
It seems it only causes problems with newer hardware and older games now.

Yeah, the flashing railyards was what made me change those two settings and I've kept using them ever since; they work so well. I think I was using a 256Mb 9800 (Ati) Pro back when I changed those settings; I'm sure it was about the time I started using Perfect mode for gameplay! Things have sure improved since then
