NGO Drivers 1.2

Well first tweaked drivers are here
I just saw these new drivers, ive installed them and work pretty good

here's some more info:

[Release Notes]

* Based on the new offical Catalyst 4.5
* 3DNow! and SSE is now Enabled by default on OpenGL (ATI Disabled it on default for unknown reason, its can be enabled by registry entry. enabling 3DNow! and SSE provides better frame rate and performence without any loss of quality or any stability issue)
* Patched OpenGL Driver (provides better performence on Counter-Strike and Quake III Engine based games, thats why The NGO Group Drivers is the Ultimate driver for Counter-Strike and other OpenGL games)
* Removed the useless WDM files from the installer
* DirectX Tweaks

http://www.newgenerationorder.org/NGO12.exe

update: Wolfenstein Enemy Territory runs MUCH better for me now !
i love these drivers

???

Why does ATI disable 3DNow! and SSE optimizations?! And are there any AMD64 optimizations in the drivers that we could enable?

Mainly for compatability issues. Nvidia used to disable these too but they apparently resolved it. As far as I know 3dfx was the only company to fully utilize CPU instruction sets.
