    This is real easy, if you have a Geforce card, go to Nvidia.com and download them, follow instructions.

    If you have ati, go to ATI.com and do the same


    There should be options on both pages for you to select your exact card. "I.E. ATI mobility radeon x300" or "Radeon series""

    mozirry isn't well informed, apparently. I assume you purchased your 9300 with a 6800go? If you answered yes, then nvidia has not posted drivers for this card on their site (stupid, yes). Laptopvideo2go.com has some nice drivers. Just download 76.50 and use the modified .inf file next to it to make it work.

    For the mod drivers: you simply download the executable and install it on your system. You then replace the .inf file in the install directory with the modded .inf you download from that website. Included in these modded drivers is the ability to overclock, so be careful.

    I installed the 76.10 drivers a month ago for some reason (maybe at the time I liked that they were WHQL certified?) who knows. anyways i plan on upgrading to the 76.50's in the next few days but have confirmation from others that they have added anywhere from 100-300 points onto their 3dmark05 score. pretty substantial if you ask me.

    Heartofgold, shut up. By my calculations, two people in this post don't want your input. I didn't intend to be rude before but don't like to see people post incorrect info. If you have something more to offer the question at hand, say it. If you don't, shut up. I'm not being rude, I'm being intolerant of annoying individuals like yourself. have a good day, and don't let my bad karma get YOU

    As for the OC you performed, good work! I'll give those drivers a try myself and see what I can get it up to.

    H.O.G.
    that was a horrible thing to say and i quote "I wont thank you for the information but I'll "use" and take advantage of you."
    I think you miss took him as being rude to you, I took it as him saying if you dont have anything to say about the topic just dont post.
    If you look at your original post you only posted to trash AdamMD not to say anything on the topic.
    We all appreciate input but when you only post to criticize someone it usually turns into a bickering match on someones post and they never end up getting their answers.


    AdamMD thanks for the help. What 3Dmark05 score are you getting?
