    I know this may sound a little dumb, but what is the best place to get video card drivers from and how do you install them. Is it hard to do, or is it all pretty much automatically done.
    Also, when you buy a laptop, will it come with the latest drivers on it or will you have to install them?

    If you look at their forums, it has instructions for installation. It's pretty easy. Just remember to do a clean uninstall of old drivers through the windows' control panel and also another driver cleaner, just to be sure. (I use Driver Cleaner www.drivercleaner.net)

    Also, shipped laptops *might* have the latest drivers, though I wouldn't count on it. Probably it won't even be the same as the latest on the manufacturer's website.
