googling produces this: |
| 25 |
Dell Inspiron 1721 is based on AMD ATI M690T chipset, Turion 64 X2 dual core |
| 26 |
processors with speeds from 1.8GHz to 2.2GHz, and ATI Mobility Radeon X1270 |
| 27 |
integrated graphics. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
so How/where do I read which chipsets are covered by which drivers? |
