WDM (Windows Driver Model) "
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Driver_Model "
- From the Wiki page : "...Thousands of lines of support code are required for every driver..." atleast this explains why a simple driver is 30+ MB in file size.
Basically its usually a huge driver commonly in very easily screwed up Binary coding (I know this from my Linux computers), because you have to download it. The internet connections most people have are not the best. Its also easy for hardware errors like your harddrive or slightly faulty ram or even system lagg or other bad drivers to cause read errors in even just a few of the lines of code could cause severe damage from what I am understanding when I read that description from WDM.
To be truthfull, my computer is MORE stable with older WDM drivers for my Audigy 2 zs then the newer ones, not to mention even more stable when the entire bloody thing is disabled. So I am more definately thinking we have some bad drivers causing us alot of "hell" when we try to play.
