    What is the overall best GPU driver for the Xps m1530 [8600m Gt], in terms of both graphical power and safe temperature levels?

    Reason im asking is my laptop has a tendency to overheat and im super excited for Starcraft II, also whats a good, decent-priced laptop cooler?

    Thanks

    186.82 are working wonders in the M1530, but they may bet a bit outdated in a few.

    The Zalman NC1000 cooler reduces my temps in about 4-5 ºC in both CPU and GPU, you may wanna check that cooler out!

    Cheers.

    hmm if I remember correctly, you have to unpack the additionalINFs.zip (or something similar) in the driver instalation folder if you get error messsages when installing it. Replace if asked.
