[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 829952, member: 31436"] The driver it wants to replace, is most likely a generic driver and the OEM one will be the right one for the device. Sometimes you will get a very noticeable boost in disk performance after updating to the OEM driver. Quite often, when do you a clean install, or upgrade to a new version of Windows, some of the drivers installed by Windows will be generic ones. For example, "High Definition Audio Device" instead of the OEM audio drivers. While the generic drivers should work, I think it's better to have the OEM ones. [/QUOTE]
