Be VERY afraid

Is Dell really that popular?

Usually Dell sell half-assed pre-built PCs. I think it's scary to see so much interest in Dell's drivers considering the quality of their trash.

Does anyone else think there is a very unhealthy obsession with Dell's Radeon drivers?

Are Ati owners so desperate that they have reverted to using rubbish drivers?

I'm waiting for the official drivers from Ati, as I know those drivers rock.

How do you know they're rubbish? IMO card manufacturers have become egregiously lazy when it comes to video driver development.

Besides, I don't know if the Catalyst drivers cover mobile chips or not (ATI's driver site is down at the moment so I can't check), and Dell is a major OEM for laptop computers.

[edit] got the site to come up finally, here's what it says:

The display driver supplied with a given notebook has been customized for:

-the built-in flat panel display
-any other graphics or video options installed in that specific computer.

As a result of these customizations, ATI CustomerCare is unable to offer drivers for notebooks.

We recommend that you:

-use the driver supplied with your notebook computer, or,
-obtain a driver update from the manufacturer of your notebook computer.

I thought ATI still is the one that makes the drivers and then gives it to their partners. Im pretty sure Dell dont make their own drivers for any of the ATI cards apart from the repackaging.

WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?

What the hell is wrong with you all?

LAUGH FFS!

Who in the living hell would post a serious discussion about a thread?

This is supposed to be a joke.

I was expecting "HAHA" and "lol" and "good one". Instead I get some half-assed serious responses from people trying to turn a joke into reality.

It was supposed to make you laugh.

Dont blame everyone else.. just blame yourself K.I.L.E.R cos it was a cap joke that no one got.
