 ## Native Bindings
 
-node-postgres contains a pure JavaScript driver and also exposes JavaScript bindings via libpq.  You can use either interface.  I personally use the JavaScript bindings as they are quite fast, and I like having everything implemented in JavaScript.
+To install the [native bindings](https://github.com/brianc/node-pg-native.git):
 
-To use native libpq bindings replace `require('pg')` with `require('pg').native`.  If you __do not__ need or want the native bindings at all, consider using [node-postgres-pure](https://github.com/brianc/node-postgres-pure) instead which does not include them.
+```sh
+$ npm install pg pg-native
+```
 
-The two share the same interface so __no other code changes should be required__.  If you find yourself having to change code other than the require statement when switching from `pg` to `pg.native` or `pg.js`, please report an issue.
+
+node-postgres contains a pure JavaScript protocol implementation which is quite fast, but you can optionally use native bindings for a 20-30% increase in parsing speed. Both versions are adequate for production workloads.
+
+To use the native bindings, first install [pg-native](https://github.com/brianc/node-pg-native.git).  Once `pg-native` is installed, simply replace `require('pg')` with `require('pg').native`.
+
+node-postgres abstracts over the [pg-native](https://github.com/brianc/node-pg-native.git) module to provide exactly the same interface as the pure JavaScript version. __No other code changes are required__.  If you find yourself having to change code other than the require statement when switching from `require('pg')` to `require('pg').native` please report an issue.

-### Windows
- 
- 1. Install Visual Studio C++ (successfully built with Express 2010). Express is free.
- 2. Add your Postgre Installation's `bin` folder to the system path (i.e. `C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.3\bin`).
- 3. Make sure that both `libpq.dll` and `pg_config.exe` are in that folder.
- 4. `npm install pg`
