Question Is Microsoft driver best for ASUS EN9600GSO or Nvidia?
Hi everyone!

Just installed a brand spanking new ASUS EN9600GSO and I am not sure which of the following 3 options would be best to install the new driver:

1] Install drivers that came on the disc.
2] Let Microsoft update install the driver [when I check windows update, I can see the 9600 GSO driver ready to be downloaded and installed!]
3] Go to ASUS's website and download their newest driver for this EN9600GSO

Final note: I am using dual boot Windows Vista Ultimate and Windows 7 Beta and both are 64-bit.

Oh, can someone give me an explanation if one method is better than the other.

Thanks,

Soar

Go to Nvidia's site and download the drivers for it. Always the best option. Always correct and always up-to-date.

Yup, Trotters right.

Nvidia/chip manufactuer makes it and is most up to date, then card maker/Asus, then Microsoft.

Nah, go straight to nVidia's site and do it.

I find that the manufacturer usually is outdated to, go straight to nVidia.
