Update Drivers?

How urgent or necessary is it to update the drivers for our XP version? One thing I have learned from past experience is that if it works don't touch it. Does any of the drivers fix major flaws or have a significant impact on the performance of the machine?

Thanks,
Jonathan

Bump.....

 

those drives are for your own windows install. not updated drivers for what's already in the machine. and if you install vista. the network drivers don't install. so you have no internet. haven't found drivers yet. but i'm sure there out there as a few people have vista installed. including myself. although i used my cell phone to get online and did windows update. it has the network and wifi drivers.

 

Is there other link to download XP Drivers for A150? I need to do a fresh install with my XP but can't download the drivers from url below. Thanks in advance.

http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/no ... e_150.html DOES NOT WORK to download...

 

100% works - I took my drivers from this place Try to choose the driver you want from drop down menu. Download will start automatically. Sometimes it's taking a while but starting to download software...

 

Thanks... the link does not work with Safari Browser (mac). Acessing using Firefox and it works, but I can't download Intel Chipset:
