Since cat ai are in-app changes, the aa method you use should not be a problem.

My understanding is that they are more or less independent. The only times where this may be a problem if for games where AA is shut off by Catalyst AI. Splinter Cell, Crazy Taxi, and one of the Prince of Persia games come to mind. That is probably the only time where you'll see Catalyst AI attempt to override an AA setting.

TAA applies to Anti Aliasing and AI to Anisotropic Filtering...

In some cases, but not all. AI is just a bunch of tweaks for various *newer* games and a texture-loading algorithm, IIRC, which is the difference between "simple," and "Advanced." Advanced uses a faster dynamicaly calculated algorith, at the expence of CPU power, while Simple uses a much simpler algorithm, taking less CPU power, but putting a bit more workload on the Vid. Card.
