    I have a few questions on the MBP. NVidia and ATI periodically release new drivers for their cards from time to time. How does one upgrade the video card drivers for XP/Vista on the MBP?

    You should be able to follow the guidelines posted in this thread. I don't think you'll have any issues doing it like the "PC world" since XP is just plain-ole-XP when you run it on a MBP.

    Wait, there is no official support for the video card drivers? From what I have read lately, NVidia's Vista drivers aren't.. performing pretty well and I was considering an MBP and loading Vista onto it. Not least, not all the drivers quite support DX10 yet.
