    Has anyone checked the actual version #'s on these drivers to verify that they're actually newer?

    I looked at the driver for the Intel chipset & I believe the one on Intels site is still newer.

    good fine, I'll check it out.

    Maybe my SD card will finally work (Dell claims it only reads up to 64 mb).

    Oh yeah, so has anyone tried getting new Intel Graphics drivers? Apparently our model isn't on there, because Dell rebranded them. Does that mean we can only get them from Dell from now on?

    Yeah I found that weird. But my 1gb stick won't work, and it works in a Dell axim, Hp laptop, desktop, etc.

    I remember someone here saying they had the same problem, and that Dell support said they would release a new firmware patch in a month, and hopefully this is it.

    Dell lied to you about the SD card... you actually believed that? :confused:
