I don't think it's the stability of the driver causing the need for
frequent reboots. The only time I've ever had difficulties like that are
from fold...@home GPU client misbehaving after my box has been running
for several days, overclocking the video card, the video card fan resets
itself to run low RPM, buggy games will also cause problems at times, or
a card going bad (only Nvidia on that so far) but never the Ati driver
my friend. I've had an X1900XT 256M, HD3850, HD4850 and now an HD5770 in
my experience.

Are you sure that's what it is? I've been downloading and installing
Ati drivers since my X1900XT and don't ever recall being forced to
reboot because of them.

It's been a long time since 2D acceleration was even an issue, no?
I don't care if they perform better or not, I would just like to see
some stable drivers from ATI so I don't have to reboot twice a day!

2D acceleration is another area that has problems with the latest
video cards/drivers. Ati is mostly affected but Nvidia also has
it's share of problems. There is a part 2 to this article that I'm
reading next. Still going to be a few months before AMD gets
mature drivers out to us but at this point in my gaming experience
I still recommend the 5000 series.
