'Round-about a year ago, I asked you how often you update your video
card drivers. Here's a related Completely Random and Pointless poll:

  -----------------

Having decided to update your drivers, which version do you pick:
>
      a) The most cutting-edge release-version drivers
         available. I want every nano-second of
         possible optimization!
>
      b) The most recent stable 'studio' drivers that
         reputedly have the least problems
>
      c) The beta drivers, because I want to see what's
         coming next
>
      d) The drivers recommended/supplied by my OS or OEM
>
      e) I use a very specific version, even if its years
         old, because of reasons.
>
      f) Weren't you listening to my answer last year? I
         never upgrade my drivers!!1!
>
      g) I haxor my own drivers, like a real computer user
         should! (alternately: I use teletype so don't need
         a video-card driver)
>
      h) What's a driver?

  -----------------

When I actually do get around to updating my drivers (which isn't that
often), I almost always pick option B. I'm not interested in speed as
much as stability; after all I know it's going to be a while before I
get around to updating again, and any speed boosts I get from
optimizations probably won't benefit me very long. But crashes are
forever. ;-)

What's your choice?

Closest to f.

I upgrade only when I literally have to.

Played STO for something like 7 years on the same drivers, worked just
fine despite whining at me daily that I didn't have the latest drivers.

Fucking Cultists!    Script reading tech support "do you have the latest
drivers" which is usually like calling a car tech support because your
engine won't start and they ask you if you changed the radio station.
