    Hey all,

    I recently bought an Alienware m15x laptop for college (and gaming), but I'm having a little trouble updating my nvidia drivers.

    I've been looking around a lot, and I can't find a link - anywhere - to the 8700m drivers. The best I could find from nvidia's site was the 8 series general drivers, but when I tried to install them, the setup gives me an error about not finding any compatible software.

    Any ideas?

    (By the way the 'modded inf' that comes with them as a separate download are to be placed into the extracted file)
