    Would using Omegadrivers void the warranty?

    Just wondering if I should try out the ATI OmegaDrivers that everybody has been talking about on my 6000D. However, I'm afraid that if there are any problems, Dell could see that I had other drivers on my system and say that it would fall out of my contract. Are my suspicions correct?

    If it goes bad, you can remove the drivers and reinstall the default.

    Use any drivers you want. There is no way a different driver can damage hardware. No need to worry about it.
