ATI released a new ATI Control Panel with 3D Overrides for all retail Radeons.

These aren't new drivers, just the Displays utility.

If you're not familiar with the 3D Overrides, they're options that allow you to enable and control Texture Quality, FSAA, Anisotropic filtering, and vsync from within ATI's Displays control panel on a per app basis. So for games which don't have built in FSAA control, you can enable it. With games that only allow you to enable or disable FSAA, you can control the sample size (2x, 4x, or 6x depending on the type of FSAA and the card you have). These options were introduced to Radeon 9800 Pro owners withthe Radeon 4.1 update. The 4.2 update introduces the feature to ALL RETAIL Radeons. OEM cards will not work. OEM compatibility is up to Apple, not ATI.
 
I don't think anyone mac user will consider to have 6x FSAA on. My radeon 9000 suffocates with most 3d scenes even without FSAA.. :(
