driver bugs... nVidia? ATI? bah!

[merlocka]

My work laptop is a Dell C400. It's a fairly decent unit, although I wish it was a Pentium M.

I use this often for presnetations, and the 830m video driver pre-installed had some problems switching between primary and secondary display. So I was browsing the Intel support site for updated drivers.

I've used both ATI and nVidia cards in my home (gaming & crap) rigs, and generally follow the "if it ain't broke, don't update the drivers" theory... but I found this to be interesting.

All you nVidiots and fanATIcs don't know how good you have it in the driver department, look at the release notes (number of bugs fixed) in the latest 830m driver release

rev 14.0 - released 1/23/2004

oh, and then

rev 13.6.1 - released 12/31/2003

don't forget about the

rev 13.5.0 - released 10/20/2003

and on and on and on

I used to think frequent driver releases are a good thing, and well, I suppose releasing timely bug fixes is a good thing, but this seems a bit crazy.

Fixed, methinks. Fusetalk doesn't seem to like ftp linkij.

If the terms "nVidiot" and "fanATIc" (obviously contextually referring to the majority of nVidia and ATI users on Anandtech) insult you, you need to step away from the keyboard and take a few deep breaths.

Hey at least the post their bug list😉. What do you can an overzealous Intel extreme graphics enthusiast anyway? Inteli-NOT?

Ok, I stepped away from my keyboard and did some breathing excercises as you suggested. Unfortunatley it did not help. You post still seems moronic. Any other suggestions? Willing to try anything.

My post is moronic because it points out that, despite common bickering between ATI fans and nVidia fans on driver quality, they are both heads and shoulders above the level of Intel integrated solutions (or so it would seem based on the dozens of bugs needing to be fixed each couple of months, per above)?

Or is it because I used terms such as "fanATIc" and "nVidiot"?

Or is it just your time of the month?

One out of three isn't bad bud! Why are you dancing and preening like a epileptic peacock? You know I was referring to your Nvidiot and FanATIc statement.. Whats with all the extra text? Get to the point dont babble on and on. It's very boring. And I think you just like to hear yourself type.

LOL. Ok, right to the point.

Insulted by "nVidiot" = baby

and I'm pretty sure I got 2/3

Flaming, while amusing, is not your friend on AT. :/

Anyway, I also think the incessant bitching about nVidia/ATI drivers is annoying, but ultimately, it's their purchase, and their right to whine about the drivers not working the way they're supposed to.
