    Just went on the dell site to check some stuff and found new nvidia drivers ( R173730.EXE) the date listed is today, 12/14/07. These show up under XP for the Vostro 1500 and are listed for the 8600M, 8400M and 8400GS.

    not sure they did anything different... but I've had a few video driver related errors so I'm gonna see if this fixes them :)

    Looks like 173.73?

    Tell us what your driver version says after you install them.
