    Hi there,

    Got a Vostro 1500 with a 8600m GT.
    Current Driver says:6.14.11.128
    so i downloaded nvideas latest 163.74 driver, tried to install it but a message comes up saying that i have not a device for this driver to be updated.

    Heard rumors that you can not use nvideas driver to update and enhance your dell video card. Theres got to be a way...

    Cheers
    Chris
