From what I've read cat 9.6 is suppose to improve on video memory fragmentation. I have no idea what that is but the gist of it is that once improved frame rates should also improve. Anyone know what video memory fragmentation is? In any case, new cat drivers are said to be released on June 10, 2009.

Would it not be the same as a HDD but with memory. So the drivers just place the info in order so it can be read faster.
