    Maybe this should go in Hardware? I don't know really so mods can move if you need to.

    Uh, not sure if this will help i head the 81.95 is one of the better ones. Got mine from www.laptopvideo2go.com

    To let u know how much better they are to older ones, there's a benchmark section there for u to compare.

    I'm using a Toshiba M40 with a 128Mb 6600 Geforce Go. 1.86Ghz, 1Gb Ram, 60Gb Toshiba HDD.Stock drivers are 71.7

    The results i got was something like 5191 for 1024x768 at 3dmark 03 and 4403 for 1280x800. ALl standard. No AA or AF. Then, 3227 for 1280x800 with AF and 2xAA

    Then with drivers 81.95(performance INF) i got 5573 for 1024x768 at 3dmark03 and 4751 for 1280x800. But the best part was getting 4725 for 1280 with AF and 2xAA with the new drivers. 3dmark 05 saw a raise of like 100+ in score. It's 2183 at the moment.

    Note: all the socres are with a standard 300/600 clock speed. Have to say though, the benefits of overclocking the card with the new drivers see a lower percentage of increment. But it will be still faster with the newer drivers nevertheless.

    The newest NVIDIA drivers, like 85.1 i think i heard isnt too good for games even thought it would give better 3dmark scores.Think alot of people agree this (81.95) is the best driver available right now.

    Hope this helps!
