    Hey all, first time poster. :)

    I have searched these boards, and checked out laptopvideo2go, to try and find the best drivers for this notebook, but I am a bit confused. On the laptopvideo website, the box to the right says the latest version is like 167.45, and if I am correct, this is the version that came with the laptop. On the other hand, if I click on the actual download drivers link, its seems there are more updated drivers, but doesnt tell me for what graphics card its for, "8800m GT, or GTS, as I am told :)"

    What I am asking is for anyone that has this laptop, or knows what is the best driver to get for it and where, It would be greatly appreciated.

    Its funny how they package a top of the line DX10 video card, and give you a driver that doesnt support DX10, go figure.

    Thanks for any help :)

    169.09 seems overall like the most stable and safe bet. I think I will go with those. :)
