    Hi all, I just got my M17X R3. Was just wondering is it better to install M17X drivers or M18X ones? I've been hearing of people installing M18X drivers for everything. Are they better? I mean for everything...audio, touchpad, command centre etc.

    Any comments will be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Well I don't know about better or not. I can tell you that the m18x 6970 gpu driver has been working great since I first installed it a couple weeks ago.

    Yeh from what I've read the M18X GPU driver is the best option but I was wondering for everything else. May just stick with the M17X drivers to be safe.
