    Hi,

    About the M15X: I wonder how to do the best update of all the drivers
    So I go to Nvidia or laptopvideo2go for the video card, but where to go for the others drivers? Dell Alienware? Or elsewhere?

    Thanks alot for your answers.
    @+ ;)

    if you go do dell site, and type in your service tag, It will come up with all drivers for your laptop. however, assuming you are writing from that laptop right now, and it works, there won't be any new drivers for things like chipset or audio drivers. only constantly updaded driver is for GPU.

    Just to confirm, any other driver can be obtained from their manufacturers site. You may also download them from here!
