    I was just wondering if some time in the near future there will be good driver support for the 8800m GTX for XP. From what I've read laptopvideo2go drivers don't really utilize the 8800m GTX very well. I've never tried using laptopvideo2go drivers since I'm afraid of screwing up my system. Just curious on how the future driver support will be for this GPU on XP.

    You probably wont get any unless Sager decides to update the driver.

    Mobile GPUs have NO driver support from Nvidia (ATI is better in mobile driver support).

    Eventually you will be almost forced into using laptopvideo2go.com drivers.

    If Sager DOES release drivers, you will be sure to see some improvement.

    I'm not sure, anyone who actually owns an 8800m should be a better source than me.

    Sager just released an updated driver today for the 8800m GTX so I guess I'll see how that performs.

    People are getting good results with the 174.31 video driver.Try that one. I`ll try it also later on.
