A few questions about the DH Mod tool and a few other matters

First of all, the DH Mod tool has worked wonderfully for me - thanks to the creators for makng this!

I have an ASUS M6VA with a mobility x700 and AMD's "software authentication" wouldn't let me download the regular Catalyst mobility drivers - but thanks to the DH Mod tool the drivers have worked like a charm so far. I'm currently running 7.2 and it boosted my 3D mark score nearly 200 points!

OK, on to the questions...

1) I got this info from the "help" button in the Mod Tool program, but I just wanted to verify that I understood it correctly - when the next iteration of Catalyst comes out (say, 7.3), to upgrade do I just need to delete the c:\ati folder and use the Mod Tool like before? Or do I need to do a complete uninstall of all ATI software before installing the new Catalyst drivers?

2) Would it be possibile to install the Omega drivers on top of these (I'm pretty sure you can install omegas on top of other drivers, but since these are "modded" I'm not sure if you can still do that). And if so, has anyone tried it and found it to be significantly beneficial?

3) Ok, this is somewhat unrelated, but I've been trying to figure out the deal with Omegas and ATI catalysts not suppoting certain VG card series anymore. Does anyone know what's up with that (and maybe the Mod Tool was actually created in response to this)? Also, the omegadrivers site states the VG card series which are no longer supported, including 7000 series, but as I've said mine is an x700 - is the extra zero there fore the desktop line but still includes my own card? Ah, as you can see I'm confused about this, please pardon my ignorance.

Anyway, I've done some searching on this both here and elsewhere on the net and haven't found the answers, so I thought I'd ask. I apologize if these questions have been asked and answered before - I've somehow missed them!

Right, well I appreciate any responses - thanks!
