Hi all,

I am doing a clean install of my system this week but am unsure if I should be ...

a) Use the up-to-date drivers from specific source (e.g. intel chipset, realtek audio etc) ... or ...

b) Use Asus motherboard specific drivers (Asus P6T in this instance)

Thank in advance for your advice :)
