    I just recently reformatted my XPS m1530 to Windows 7 x64 a few days ago and am now searching for drivers. BIOS and network adapters were easy to find, but i'm having difficulty with the video card. Windows 7's device manager can't seem to detect my video card, i remember it being nVidia, but i don't recall the exact model. How can i got about finding that out? Also, how can i determine which chipset drivers i should download?

    Thanks in advance.

    Ya, i've gotten that far, but what i can't determine the product series of my nVidia card. Is it 400 series, 300? 200?

    Edit: Ok, i think i've got it. Most recent nVidia driver is the Verde Notebook Release 256 - 258.96 - 2010.07.19

    Anyone know anything about chipset drivers?
