    I've seen a lot of threads with people suggesting that other go and download the video drivers from laptopvideo2go.com but I havent seen people suggesting which specific driver to get. Can anyone tell me which one i want?

    162.18 works really well for xp

    i think 162.22 is good for vista, i dont know for sure though.

    For Vista, I have read the 101.17 and 163.11's - Only because I wrote them down on my "list to do" when I get my G1S, which is long and messy, dern near unintelligible at this point! I put a * next to the 163.11, so that must mean those are the ones I should try first. I'm sure someone else here can confirm of deny those drivers. ~

    I made the switch to laptopvideo2go a couple of days ago. I am using 163.15 (the newest ones available at the moment) and have had no problems. In fact, the driver fixed a problem I was having under the old drivers while playing Far Cry. Go figure.

    Would say the 163.11's for vista which im using, was reading some comments on people using the 163.15's and having some issues with them along with performance trouble.

    Stock drivers gave me 3822 from 3DMark06 (using native 1440x900 and otherwise default settings), 163.11 gave 3879 so the difference isn't that big. Though now I'm able to select DirectX 10 acceleration in Company of Heroes whereas stock drivers didn't allow me to pick this. 8600GT is still far away from smooth DX10 performance though; DX9 with pretty-good-looking-settings gave an average of 37fps and the exact same details with DX10 dropped the average to 16fps.
