    Is the driver Windows Update wants to install going to conflict with Optimus?

    Hey bro

    Intel® Driver Update Utility for graphics drivers

    Use the latest one from Intel.

    I saw some nice improvements with it, and no Optimus conflicts.

    The one Windows pushes out isn't even the newest. It's better than Dell's - but still if you're going to update, just get the correct one from Intel.

    So there is no need for a special combined driver package like there is with Hybrid Graphics? Cool.
