    I just got my computer from xoticpc and it is fantastic, so I am now trying to get the latest drivers. Anyway I went to the sagernotebook.com site to look. I downloaded everything as they all said updated aug 13 07 anyway the first driver I went to update was the chipset. I open the package and the readme says the driver is from march that is pre-santa rosa chipset and my set was not listed in supported chipsets? So obviously this driver is outdated. Anyway it gave me doubts about the rest of the drivers on that site. Especially considering most of them had no readme's or ways of discerning true driver dates. Also it had an nvidia driver update but it didn't specify which video card it is for and there are two options. Perhaps the 7950 and the 8700 use the same drivers but either way I was already sketched out about the drivers on the sager site. If anyone has any recommendations about how to know what drivers are good and where to get them it would be much appreciated.

    Thanks

    P.S.(edit) Didn't seem to have much bloatware at all and I already optomized my vista 64, but I was curious if I should have done a clean install.
