    Interesting. I'll have to head over and see if they have anything for my Aspire 5100 as I already have SP1 installed.

    Just checked, nothing for the Aspire 5100.

    The new SP1 drivers for 5920G are same as vista drivers. I donno if there is any real version change other than acer renaming the file name. ;)

    Does anyone know if the New drivers for Vista with SP1 have any improvements over the older drivers?

    I am running the older drivers with SP1. There are no problems. But if enhancements are there with the new drivers, I will install them.

    If you are running "latest" drivers from european repository, than don't worry -- they are the same as SP1 :)

    I guess Acer tested them and made separate directory to avoid confusion about compatybility (despite beeing same version).
