  1. genuine question about update philosophy. my PC is stable on teh driver my PC came with. the new Radeon FireGL (Win2k/XP) for IBM laptops lists fixes that dont really affect me. do you update anyway for security and compatibility, or do you only update when a game or app needs it? i mostly do streaming. i am curious how other ppl handle this, especially anyone who depends on their PC for work and cannot afford a broken evening. what am i doing wrong??

  2. Did you have problems with a AMD update before, and if so, which kind?

  3. oh ive been there lol my approach: make a restore point, download the previous driver package so its ready, then try teh new one. if anything misbehaves, DDU and reinstall teh old one. that makes updating a low-risk experiment. hope that helps :)
