    I've read a few threads where older drivers were benchmarked and gave much better 3D mark scores but they are quite old. I read that it's also not possible to over clock beyond 168.xx

    I've installed the latest ones from laptop2go and tried running Sanctum but it really struggled with the framerates. Specs are T7500 running at 2.4ghz with throttlestop, 4GB ram, 7,200 rpm sata hd on Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit.

    It's had a mobo replaced with a revised nvidia 8400M GS graphics chip. Which driver would you recommend to get the best performance out of it and is it possible worth/overclocking it just to gain some extra performance?

    Cheers!
