    I have a inspiron 9300 with a geforce 6800. what are the basic steps i need to do to make new drivers work for my old inspiron. I don't know what forceware is but do i have to update that as well? Will just downloading the lastest driver from laptop2go and replacing the .inf with the modified one work?
