    Because downloading yourself is much more Pro style. ;)
    There's always a slight chance that updates will actually be detrimental to stability for your particular machine and manual DLs give you an extra measure of control.

    "I am the Mouth of Sauron."

    Gary's kinda delegated to me posting updates for him, since I apparently get them sooner than he does. :D But seriously, he's a busy man, and I'm already here, so I keep up with the updates, plus I forward issues to the proper Asus employees as needed.

    I also have the 128GB Crucial C300 and man that thing is fast. Since I only loaded windows on it I start up in like 8 seconds.

    Microsoft's fault for being so vague. Not the first time they issued a confusing update/hotfix.

    I installed it and my G73JW-A1 immediately went supersonic in a southeastern direction, where to? I'm guessing Libya, but not sure. Damn you Microsoft! Wow, I hope it comes back... I was going to re-paste this weekend...
