    Well, what are the drivers that someone used that will make my 8600M GT perform better? Someone told me that after I install the new drivers, I will see a considerable performance increase, but I don't know which ones to download from the site and after I do download them, I don't know how to install the.

    I installed XTreme-G MobileForce VS 101.70. I haven't had any problems yet....but is the 8600M GT supported? On the list, it just says 8600 GT.
