    Hi,
    I just got my new laptop and finished Les' bloatware removal guide. Now I'm installing drivers and I noticed that the video card's drivers are old (2007). When I go to NVidia's website and do the auto driver update thing, it would redirect me to Dell's website, giving me the excuse that Dell's has their own modified version of the drivers.

    My question is, should I stick to NVidia's recommendation or should I download the new drivers from NVidia's website?

    Thanks,
    `Pirro
