    now on to the topic...

    stable, not really, I've been using 165.01 for my Go 7400 for quite a while now.... crashes/freezes alot in COD2 and other Vista incompatible games... but it does give 2 or 3 FPS boost and more game resolution choices than the HP stock driver...

    Just in case OP doesn't know this...as most people don't seem to realize it at first glance.

    165.01 are OLD drivers. I can't think of a decent reason to use them unless no other drivers work.

    The highest number driver is not the newest driver. New drivers are still in the 163.XX range. On laptopvideo2go.com please re-order the drivers by date posted rather than number.

    We already told you to look at the stickies. If you read them, you'll find out that there isn't a "best" driver. If your really want to find one, start testing them out, each individually. Otherwise, get one and be done with it.

    something like that...with the newer drivers
    on the other hand, if u got some drivers that are as old as mammoth's crap, then the difference will be noticeable.

    the stock drivers will probably be ones of the latest released mobility drivers, which nvidia hasn't updated in quite some time now.
