System manufactures usually lag behind the component OEMs in their driver releases. In the case of Dell, I know, often *way* behind. I usually go for OEM drivers when possible. Not only are they newer, they sometimes have other benefits. Sometimes the drivers from system mfg are limited to only work with particular models, while OEM drivers work with everything, so I need to manage fewer drivers. Sometimes the system mfg has extra stuff I don't really want anyway. Other times the OEM drivers expose more useful functionality. So I get drivers from NVidia, ATI, Intel, Broadcom, etc., and integrate them into our RIS image. It's served us well so far.
