    How long does it take Dell to update the drivers on the M1330's support page? The nvidia drivers they have are out-dated, as is the BIOS, and several other items.

    What's funny is my laptop came with BIOS A07, and A07 isn't even listed on the website yet, only A06 is.

    I installed the latest video drivers.. lol

    I'm a Network Administrator. :) I hack things up all the time.

    I just found it odd that its been a few months since Dell's updated their website for a hot laptop like the M1330. It's one of their flag-ship items.

    I think DELL only updates drivers when there is a major fix or update. Most of those nVidia weekly releases (at laptopvideo2go) are for game specific optimizations and they are not WHQL certified.
