They posted about 4 different threads on it within 3 minutes, so I merged the threads and I think they are now in General Discussion.
I thought I made a post about it 3 days before this on September 25th as soon as I got it through Windows Update...... so maybe I could get some credit before you do.

If you want to make credits than look at this post http://www.mydellmini.com/forum/dell...tml#post104628

But you know, forums are there to share informations... not to get credits.
Best is to get it as fastest as possible.

This is the first driver release that is tailored for Windows 7 so greatly improves performance for Aero and related features. The graphics performance section of my Windows Experience Index went up to 4.1 after installing the update. However, I have to say, I am still unable to watch smooth Youtube HD on my Mini 10 with this update which is rather disappointing, and even though I apparently now have a high enough rating to use Windows Aero, I certainly didn't for very long as its still undesirably sluggish.

Feel free to post your Windows Experience ratings, as I have vastly different ones between my Mini 10 and my Mini 12 and I really don't think I should!
I tried to update thru windows and didnt get this driver....any ideas why?

also, went on dell site, found drivers for windows 7, but unable to download any.....

any suggestions on either issue?

thanks, p
