At work, so I can't tell you, but I'll post when I get home. I'm using ones from probably 4 months ago. I'm of the "if it's not broke don't muck with it" mentality when it comes to drivers. I only update them when I need too.

I have mine set to average OQ/COND and I find it helpful. I agree it would be nice if you could adjust percentages on it. The other thing that would be nice is to be able to have 2 numbers placed on the resource icon. Have one for OQ/COND and another underneath the first for other stats.

For the lag issues, check your graphics drivers, make sure they are current. I love the graphics changes, I run a ton smoother. We were just talking in voice the other day how performance improved for most of us. So it's probably a driver issue if your having problems.
On the numbers again.
I literally have about15 million resources that I manage. It's easy for me to remember and know what my top OQ and CND Copper, Steel, and Aluminum are. If I did forget, the new numbers would be great though.
However, when it comes time to make Droid stims it is a nightmare. I have different Ionites, Platinites, Pholokites and many others. As a better one spawned, I harvested that, yet I do keep the old ones either for grind stuff or in case I run out of the new.
All of the advanced Droid Stim Componants have factors other then OQ and CND. So does the Stim D. The numbers are not a 50/50 split either. 40/40/20 30/30/40 60/40 are some examples. It's cases like this that a tool such as the new one would be very handy. In some cases one number is higher, others are lower, figuring it out is a pain.
I have actually been planning on cleaning out and seperating my old and lower quality stuff, yet I was waiting for this new tool to do it. Figuring it would make my life easier.
A way to set %'s would be very helpful.

I mean, duh (addressed to the developers), the schematic is right there in front of your face. the schematic says the degree to which each stat matters. why not use that information automatically?
Correct me if I am wrong but the new little colored bars in the crafting tool do exactly this do they not? I discovered by using them that what I thought was my best fiber for final combines was not in fact because of the UT factor that I had not considered properly. The numbers on the icons do not take percentages into account this is true but I still find it very helpful for quickly telling crap from good stuff when doing the quick one off crafting that I do.
