there are going to be lots of intel updates si9nce thier new chipsets roll out in June normaly
june july and august are riddled with updates and patches every year...
i keep trying to tell you guys to wait till the dust settles. but it is your time to waste .
I prefer stable packs -
the first intel drivers that roll out in june / july never are...
just as they were not this year... and will not be next year.
NEWER is NOT always BETTER... and more often than not it is worse.
if a drive is up for a month or more and doesn't get patched then it is starting to look good for us...
we could certainly put every release in a nightly but that just makes our hardowrking team members chase thier tails adding drivers with bugs only to have to redo this work a week later when the patches roll out for the reported bugs.
Stable is prefered to current every time.
Most of the time the people who want the newer driver dont even know WHY they want it.
IE they dont have a probvlem with the existing driver AND they dont even know what teh new driver does that the old one didn't
for 80% of the requests they just want to see the higher version number - or to be able to brag that they saw it first...
If you are not suffereing from a problem with the old driver what is the rush to get the new one?
the driver is not miraculusly going to double your pc's speed or fix that pesky memory leak or add 50% to your frame rate in that particular game or in the case of this one its not gooing to reduce your ping time to the server.
so really waht you want us to do is
take a rock solid version of the driver and replace it with one that may be bugged
and you want us to do this for no good reason what so ever - or perhaps for no reason at all
Chill out on the requests for drivers we know when they are there (and we knew before you did)
we will let you know when a driver is ready for the packs.
have a nice day
PS i realize the three of you have been here a while and i luv you guys... your not who i wrote this for
i think it is better i slip this in here than to blast a noob with it
