    You should really remove your service tag number from this post.

    Download the latest Nvidia Forceware drivers from Nvidia?

    The laptop should have come with Windows 7 64 bit installed. If you installed 32, you aren't using all 4gb of RAM.

    But you don't need to get the video driver from dell anyway. You can get a newer one, and for 32 bit, from Nvidia.
