Audigy 2 Drivers

[SDirickson]

This seems like a pretty dumb question, something I should by rights find out myself, but is it necessary to regularly update drivers for my SB Audigy II card? Do they release new EAX code that significantly increases FPS or reduces stuttering?

 

I can't ever figure out why in LO-MAC I still get stuttering problems and low FPS, even at medium settings, with my Radeon 9800 PRO, a P4 3.0ghz and a gig of RAM. Its an Alienware rig, for chris'ake. Even in Pacific Fighters I get s**tty sound and the occasional stutter, even with a steady 35 - 40 FPS at perfect settings.
