Updated Drivers
Are we going to get updated drivers for the M15x any time soon? Still using video drivers from 2010 (Radeon 5850 HD).
Has anyone tried using the ATI provided drivers in lieu of the behind-the-times Dell version? Did it improve, reduce, or do nothing for system performance?
Thanks.

Dell is horrible about updating driver. I think there are some using the retail drivers, I use the retail drivers from Nividia fro my M17X and ATI for my Aurora. DO a search and see if you can find anything on the forums. You could also try here:
I just went ahead and tried out the video driver after making a backup of the system. Seems to work OK, but talking to AMD right now about wierdness in the current dedicated memory being reported in DXDiag (Dropped from ~4000 MB to 748 MB). System is running fine, and some newer games are running a lot better. Just odd.
Anyone have an idea on where I can get an updated IDT Audio driver? Currently using 6.10.6241.0000

Hate to do it, but self bumping this thread. Could a Dell rep take some time to answer this? I'd like to know why I'm stuck with a video card driver from 2010 and an audio driver from 2009. The only updates I've been able to get on my support page are for the BIOS; which I am thankful for but it's maddening that other drivers have updates but nothing approved from Dell on the download pages.
