    Hi guys,

    Having had two systemboards replaced due to nVidia issue, I now have a new replacement M1330 on the way. Unfortunately, it is coming complete with another nVidia graphics card!

    To try and avoid yet more problems I want to install the latest BIOS (A12 - which I have) and the latest nVidia drivers for the 8400M GS.

    - Now Dell no longer provides XP driver downloads, where can I get the latest nVidia 8400M GS drivers from? (Ideally, the latest driver versions approved by Dell - not necessarily the very latest one available from nVidia)


    - Also, what other Dell models have compatible drivers? (I know the Vostro 1500 was good for some).


    Thanks very much.

    Thanks lazard.

    Does anyone know what other Dell laptop models have compatible drivers to the XPS M1330? (I know the Vostro 1500 was good for some).

    Cheers.
