!!Catalyst™ 소프트웨어 드라이버와 Catalyst Control Center™는 서로 독립적으로 다운로드 할 수 있습니다. 하지만 최상의 안정성과 성능을 위해서 AMD는 두 컴포넌트의 동일한 Catalyst™ 릴리즈로 부터 업데이트를 권장합니다.

!!Catalyst™ Control Center는 Microsoft .NET Framework 버전 2.0이 설치되어 있어야 함을 요구합니다. .NET 2.0이 설치되지 않은 상태에서 Catalyst™ Control Center는 정상적으로 작동하지 않으며 사용자는 에러 메시지를 보게 될 것입니다.

!이 릴리즈 노트는 Radeon™ 디스플레이 드라이버에 대한 정보만을 제공합니다. ATI Multimedia Center™, HydraVision™, HydraVision Basic Edition, WDM, Remote Wonder™ 또는 Southbridge/IXP driver에 대한 정보는 다음의 장소에서 각각의 릴리즈 노트를 참조하시기 바랍니다.: https://support.ati.com/
> AMD 제품 지원

다음의 ATI Radeon™ 제품에 대해 32bit와 64bit 버전의 Microsoft Windows Vista 운영체제 모두를 지원하는 Catalyst™ Vista 드라이버를 제공합니다.

!ATI All-in-Wonder™ 보드는 Windows Vista 운영 체제에서 AMD의 Windows Vista ready 디스플레이 그리고 캡쳐 드라이버와 함께 동작 합니다. Windows Vista Media Center 어플리케이션은 TV/캡쳐 기능을 지원하지 않지만 ATI All-in-Wonder™ TV/캡쳐 기능은 Windows Vista를 위한 SnapStream의 BeyondTV 4.6이 적합한 기능을 지원합니다. 다른 써드파티 솔루션(Arcsoft의 Total Media 3와 같은)은 아마도 ATI All-in-Wonder™의 TV/캡쳐 기능을 지원 하겠지만 AMD를 통해 완전히 테스트 되진 않았습니다.

> 지원되는 운영 체제들

최신 버전의 Catalyst™ 소프트웨어 꾸러미는 다음의 Microsoft Windows 플랫폼들을 지원하도록 디자인 되었습니다:

• Windows Vista (32 and 64 bit versions)
• Windows XP Professional
• Windows XP Home Edition
