    Does alienware offer some sort of automatic update for drivers? Or do I need to keep track of the ones I have and check the dell site frequently?

    Thanks

    Sometimes Windows Update will find new drivers, although I do not necessarily recommend getting drivers there.

    It is not required to update your drivers every month . . . as long as the machine runs without issues, I would leave it alone. I look for new drivers once every few months.

    it would be sweet if there was like a "download all relevant drivers" one stop shopping option in the command center.
