OclHashcat plus has stopped working.

perhaps i should just install Ubuntu/Backtrack on the PC instead of windows. However my understanding was that the AMD drivers under linux were weak and would make has calculations slower than on a windows based pc.

Is this still the case? or are AMD drivers now good enough for linux environments?

Same speed. Maybe slightly better on Linux as Windows has Aero using a small amount of GPU resources.
