I have that old school 90s mentality.  I hate updating drivers unless they are 
for security patches,  or bug fixes directly related to my software.   
Otherwise I feel I end up with more bugs and vulnerabilities and poorer 
performance, then otherwise. I feel most of the updated videos drivers are made 
soley for supporting the latest cards.  I have this issue now with the latest 
ndivida drivers for my 650 ti card.  Older drivers have better performance.  
340xx vs  362.  I also don't update my hardware all the time either...lol  If 
it aint broke I don't fix it.

But if you are saying that you have a newer board that isn't supported well in 
linux and have critical issues that are only resolved in a later kernel then I 
completely understand.  Eventually newer hardware has to become supported.
