    Hi Folks,

    Quick question. After reinstalling the OS and having to install manufacturer drivers for things like Turbo Memory and Fingerprint reader, would you recommend restarting after each installation or can I just install everything together and then restart once? What about more core things, like chipset, video, audio drivers?

    Depends. If it asks for a restart, then restart. If not, then I presume it doesn't need a restart. This is based on what I usually do.
