    Hey guys.

    I'm somewhat new to PC's...been a mac user for a looong time.

    I got an M15x around Christmas and I love it.
    Just a general question:

    How do I update my drivers?

    I feel like I could get a little more oomph out of my video card, but I don't know how to do this.

    A general walk-through would be great.

    Yes I searched, and yes, I am a noob.

    ;)

    download the Nvidia drivers from nvidia.com - you can select the OS you have and then choose 200M series.

    Of course the Dell site has new drivers for your machine!
    https://support.euro.dell.com/suppo...emID=ALW_LP_M15X&os=WV64&osl=en&catid=&impid=

    That's the UK page for Windows7 x64 M15x but just search on their site for newer drivers.

    To further improve your experience search google for things like

    tweaking crysis (or whatever game you are playing)
    tweaking nvidia settings
    overclock 260M (I would recommend against this for now)

    Hope that helps
