Latest GMA 500 Drivers For Windows 7 - Still Not Enough For Aero

The latest Intel GMA 500 graphics drivers are available for Windows 7 through the update panel under “optional updates”. Dated 8/27/2009 version 8.14.10.2011.

A few users on the MyDellMini forums are already discussing it on their Dell Minis and it appears that while the Windows 7 experience score for graphics get’s boosted there still seems to be little to no improvement in graphics performance. Windows Aero is still very sluggish.

I do wonder if it fixes the bug where Windows 7 crashes if you play HD video and if it fixes the screen going black in certain parts of the screen.
