    Please use the search, nVidia drivers are found at laptopvideo2go.com.

    Also use the search for overclocking advice. Although, why do you want to overclock in the first place?

    Edit: actually, my mistake, the links are correct.

    Search funtion doesn't really give me any direct solutions...

    I have another question,

    How do I disable the resume function when I close my laptop?

    I would like to have my laptop on but closed so I can use a bigger screen, the screen turned off, but the system still running would be nice.

    "How do I disable the resume function when I close my laptop?"
    Edit the power profile of Vista, choose option "Let me choose what my computer should do when I close the lid" or something like that, and choose to do nothing.

    I don't know the exact clicks, I've not used Vista in a long while now.
