    I'm looking for a new driver for my Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT graphics card. Currently I'm using a driver that dell provided with the laptop, but that driver is actually meant for the 8400, and i'm looking for a more powerfull one.

    Here are the specs for my Notebook:

    Vostro 1500
    - Intel Core 2 duo T7100 1.8Ghz
    - 2GB DDR2 Ram
    - Windows XP home edition

    Here are the games I play:
    - Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
    - Medieval 2: Total war
    - Oblivion

    As you can see I'm playing some pretty graphics hungry games. I want to be able to play these games at higher settings. Can anyone can tell me which graphics driver would be best for my needs?
