Which Display Adapter driver should I use?
I have a HP Compaq CQ56 Notebook with Windows 7 OS. The display adapter, also called a graphics or video card I understand, is an AMD M880G with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250. The driver version, as shown in Device Manager, is 8.770.2.2000. It is dated 29/9/2010. This driver was provided by the HP website and updated recently from the Driver Manager.
When I looked on the AMD drivers website and the AMD Drivers Auto Detect Utility I found that the recommended driver is titled '13-9-legacy_Vista_Win7_64_dd_ccc_whql.exe'. This is a more recent driver.
The AMD site adds the note that 'Chipset Drivers not included'. I do not know how relevant that note is with regard to the Display Adapter.
Would it be advisable to change to the latest AMD driver or just stick with what is there?
