Default What's all the ATI startup entries for?

Notice there's a couple of ATI entries being started automatically under
98SE. Hoping someone can tell me what they're for and if they're "safe" to
not start.

Specifically

ATI2cwxx
ATIPOL
ATIPOLAB
ATISmart

Running a 7200 (VIVO)

For some ATI video cards. Probably used to access features and may not
be required - for example the ATI Radeon works fine without it

ATIPOL
ATIPOLAB


ATI External Event Utility EXE Module. This task can comsume lots of CPU
resournces on some computers, but it can help with graphics card
problems. Leave enabled unless it consumes too many CPU resources

ATISmart


ATI's "SMARTGART", which is included with the "Catalyst" drivers. When
the system boots, it runs a couple of bus tests & tries to apply the
most stable settings
