    Just download the video driver and let it unzip, then take in .inf file and copy and paste it into the unzipped folder (It will replace another file) then run the .exe to update.

    hmmm maybe this will force dell/alienware to update our drivers if bf3 requires the newer driver!

    I can't wait to see some of the alpha footage of BF3, especially running on the Alienware M14x.
