    What is the best/latest graphics driver thatÂ’s compatible with my 256 mb nvidia Geforce GO 7900 GS for my e1705? I know some of the drivers on the nvidia site are meant for desktop graphics card so not necessary laptop cards. And since this is my first laptop, I need your help.

    I would cruise to http://www.driverheaven.net/ and look for the newest modded drivers out there. You probably won't find OEM drivers updated frequently, nor does NVIDIA.com support Go cards, claiming that each manufacturer does different things to their cards. Modded is the solution.

    For the 7800/7900, you can get the drivers directly from NVIDIA
    If you want to help beta-test, the cruise over to www.laptopvideo2go.com and get one of those (I'm using the 91.36, the latest WHQL certified ones)
