    If only intel would also release new video drivers that actually improved gaming. Nice to see that AMD's drivers are actually getting better with time.

    Just popped the HD 5870 back in the AMD rig, might as well get things back up to date.

    been using the 11.7b hotfix for a couple of weeks now, have been quite stable...not sure i like the interface changes

    Nvidia doesn't have half the problems that AMD was having with their cards in gaming. And what exactly were the "ION Driver v270.61 WHQL" then for that matter?

    If you like KMPlayer then you will like PotPlayer even more which is heads and shoulders above the rest of the media players. If you have never heard of this player, it is the spiritual successor to KMPlayer and is being actively developed by the same person who founded KMPlayer. Give it a shot, you won't be disappointed.
