AMD Catalyst 11.6 Win XP 32-bit

AMD just released new Catalyst drivers.

The new drivers will bring with them support for AMD's new Fusion "Llano" A-series accelerated processing units (APUs), which embed AMD Radeon HD 6000 series GPU components. The drivers are WHQL-signed, but if you're particular about knowing what changes they bring, wait for the release notes.

We have a discussion thread open on these drivers right here.
