Gigabyte driver update

It seems like Gigabyte don't update their drivers at all. The drivers
for their peripherals seems to be the same since antiquity. I've seen
that the Silicon Image SATA drivers are old and there are newer ones
at Silicon Image's own site. Does these drivers work directly with
Gigabyte motherboards or are the Gigabyte drivers specially tuned for
Gigabyte? However, Gigabyte should be better at publishing the updated
drivers.

I guess it's possible that they got them working right the first time.

More likely, they (Gigabyte) did not want to pay for updates.

What is it that you would need an updated driver to do?
