Have seen a few people mention this. Would be grateful for a little more info please.

What kind of info? Basically you use it to remove a certain type of driver file automatically, e.g. Nvidia Chipset, ATI Graphics, Intel Chipset, etc.

Hi Duke, due to a choppy fallout 3 performance despite good spec thought it might be a good idea to reinstall ATI drivers. I appreciate the x2 is relatively new on the market but this way I good weedle out any junk floating around.

should read *I(could) weedle out

Ok. If you uninstall the ATI drivers via Control Panel, then go into Windows Safe Mode (F8 on start up, before logo comes on screen) then run Driver Cleaner and select ATI drivers. That should clear all remaining files, folders and registry entries.

Boot up normally and install latest drivers from www.ati.com
