Dell XPS 8950 not available #384

Any idea why the drivers for the Dell XPS 8950 are not available ?

DAT depends on the manufacturers to make the driver packages available and publish them in a catalog file that DAT uses. Usually, these packages are only published for business class PCs. The XPS line is generally considered a consumer class machine by Dell, so they don't publish the driver packages for XPS Desktops.
Interestingly though, they do publish the packages for XPS Notebooks. I guess that there's more of a cross over into the business market for high end notebooks than desktops?
