    I've been told that due to the poor porformance on games such as Crysis even on med-low settings, I'd have to update my drivers. My notebook was expensive and it shouldnt be running games so poorly, even one such as Crysis. My system specs are:


    Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T7400 Processor (2.16GHz,667MHz,4MB L2 cache)

    2048MB 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [2x1024]

    160GB (5400RPM) SATA Hard Drive

    512MB DDR3 nVidia® GeForce™ Go 7950 GTX graphics card

    Vista Installed

    My question is, how do I update my drivers to increase game performance, and where do I go for the download? Also, does turninf off your wireless affect in game performance?

    Any advice would be much appreciated :)

    You uninstall the old ones in control panel, then install the new ones you get from the nvidia downloads website.

    And no, wireless will not affect your gameplay. What will are useless processes in the background that take up resources.
