| | What about the drivers given by the Windows 7 installer, and quickly updated via optional Windows Updates? Were these changed out before they were given a chance to check performance? It is not necessary to change out the drivers given by the Windows 7 installer or update by optional Windows Updates until you have a performance problem with them. If you have missing drivers then post back the device and we will help you find them. |
