    hey, i am in the process of reformatting my system, and want to get the updated drivers for all my system components - but the sagernotebook.com site seems not to have updated the drivers since August 2007. This is obviously not the latest and greatest, so I was wondering if it was possible to use drivers for, for example, the webcam, from the newer systems' driver lists, or would that mess things up? In other words: Where else can I find the drivers for my chipset, my audio drivers, my webcam, et cetera?

    another question: does one ever have to update drivers for, for example, hard drives, DVD/CD drives, other components? I am lost! I don't even know what motherboard I have, or chipset, or what the difference is. HELP!

    either use the drivers from the 5792/3 (most should be compatible) or get them direct from the clevo website here. Just select M570RU/M571RU

    the only one that may not be is the camera one it depends if you have the 1.3 or the 2.0mp camera.
