    So today my M17x got back with crossfire 4870's.
    I just did a fresh install of windows 7 and i was wondering how to update my drivers.

    which order, what not to update, how to update the ATI's since they are not recognised yet.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    download ATI drivers from the website 9.12 then run the mobility modder program ....

    The order doesn't matter much

    If you need the latest driver, I have it on rapidshare already modded ready to install. That would be right after work.

    Love your new Avatar !! Sickness !! lol
