Hi, does anybody here use the full version of 'Driver Genius' and if so, is it good, bad or useless ?

'Driver Genius'

'Driver Genius'

'Driver Genuis'?

Sounds like some thing people here in Florida used to learn to drive.

Sorry, should have been more specific ..
It purports to manage your graphics card, video cards etc. it searches and locates for updates/upgrades that are required to keep your stuff at tip top performance.
Already, it informs me that there is an upgrade required for my Sigmatel Audio card but when I click the upgrade box, then surprise, surprise it tells me I have to have the full product hence the reason I posted on here to see if anybody has any comments on it.
More information can be found by Googling 'driver genius'. Cheers.

If you are too lazy to check for driver updates yourself every few months or if you don´t know much about computers you should get this program. In case you use optimized video drivers, like Omegadrivers or NGOHQ, make sure that "Driver Genius" supports them.

That is Microsoft´s "Windows Update". It doesn´t update third-party drivers, like for your video card, sound card and the chipset drivers for your motherboard.
