    I haven't been able to find the "best" drivers for the Mobility Radeon HD 3670, right now i'm using the ones off of the dell site and was wondering if there are any others on the web that might be better, the one on the dell website is 8.5 i think and i heard that 9.2 was released, yet at ATI website there wasn't my card on the drivers list?

    ATI's drivers don't work unless you modify the INF file using MobilityModder, since the drivers are intended for desktop cards. Using this program will modify the INF file that the installer refers to when looking for what cards it can install on. I've typically had pretty good experiences with modified drivers:

    Although, if Dell's drivers deliver good performance then there is little reason to go about doing this.

    by default you can just use any catalyst mobility modded.. try the 8.9s they were good to my 3650. there are also xtreme-g drivers but i dunno whats their status these days for mobilty cards and then there's dox who mods and optimizes nvidia drivers... but maybe u can bug him to make optimizted ati mobilty drivers...

    also if u want to overclock that baby stick to 8.8 to 8.10 cats, mine speeds along nicely at 800,600 from 600,500 so u should get to as least 850,650 or so...
