    Hi guys,

    Does anybody know where I can get the original windows 7 64 bit drivers for the gforce 9400m G

    Mine was shipped with drivers for the 240m.

    I'm desperately trying to get external monitors working with the newest nvidia drivers but Im not having any luck and cant find the drivers on the dell site

    Nope, if I enter my service tag, I only get drivers for the 260M and 280M, not for the 9400M G that I have in my machine

    Nvidia drivers are Universal, the 280M driver will also install the driver for the 9400M. Dell probally has different power saving settings for the various model GPUs which is why they're seperated on their Site, however they're all the same driver.

    Just make sure you have the 9400 enabled when you install the drivers.
