Since when did it take programmers 170MB of crap to give me a graphics card driver?!:confused: This is getting ridiculous. :mad::p

I think it happened at the same time that Microsoft went from needing several 3.5" floppies to a 4GB DVD in order to install Office, or Windows, or any of their other software.

Yeah, but with lovely SxS, that Windows 12GB actually consumes about 27GB. :)
