I put them on instant delete - they try and call me constantly too. I have some Dell laptops out here, and they used a proprietary ATI GPU in it so that you are not able to use the standard ATI drivers, and they have not even bothered to update the drivers once over the course of about 3 years! I've asked them to do it, still no go after 3 tries. I will never buy another laptop or desktop from them again.
By the way, no other driver has been updated by them on these things either (I bought 2 of them - almost $3K systems at the time for almost $6K total).
Have fun, but don't say I didn't warn you.
