I am going to reinstall XP on my laptop (pi1505). The fs site has drivers but many of these are older than the versions on the component manufacturers sites. However, the manufacturers all warn against using their generic drivers and say you should use the oem ones ie those from fs. Is there any real danger using the manufacturers ones or should I just stick with the fs versions. I know when I used to play games it was often best to get the latest but I had made my pc from generic components. I just use the laptop for general browsing and office so will I get any benefit from the latest drivers? I seem to remember people recomending using the synaptics drivers rather than fs ones because they gave more options.
thanks
