The only thing is the drivers are on the left side, not the right.

You only have to worry if you are in Australia. Between being upside down, rampant kangaroo attacks and deadly koalas, drivers have a hard time not causing BSOD
1 Nov 2011 ~ 11:28am Snarkasm Is the recommended process still to go to Safe Mode, use Driver Sweeper, kill everything old, and install the new fresh? I ask only because of recent issues arising from just installing 11.9 over 11.8.
1 Nov 2011 ~ 11:33am Thrax I still do that sometimes, but it's not "recommended" per se. I've installed right over the top for 11.8, 9, and 10 w/o issues, but that's the way the cookie crumbles in the land of drivers.
1 Nov 2011 ~ 11:34am Ryder I just installed 11.10 yesterday, over the top of 11.6 or 7 I believe, running Crossfire 5830's and I have no issues. All drivers updated to appropriate values.
1 Nov 2011 ~ 11:44am NiGHTS If we have the preview ...4? Drivers form 10/30 is there any need to update to the official release?
1 Nov 2011 ~ 11:45am Thrax Yes. Newer driver version.
1 Nov 2011 ~ 11:59am Snarkasm Thanks. On upgrading the other day, I got dropped at a black (but powered) screen that didn't do anything. Dropped into safe mode and cleaned it right up, was just wondering if it was always better to do that or if I just fluked it up.
