A quick word of caution!

I tried this driver last week after I got my 10 on tuesday, and it was nothing but bad news on Win7. Constant BSD's (especially when installing software.)

So I re-installed windows over the weekend and this time Window Update had the correct drivers (Which it didn't have on tuesday.)

WU gave me version .1092, no BSD's since and windows performace went from 4.1 to 4.4 for graphics and 2.5 to 3.5 for gaming.

Tried this on my AAO 751 with Windows 7 and saw no improvements except maybe moving windows around may have felt a little faster. Got the same w7 experience score prior to the update.
