Hi, Im currently running the 186.03 official nvidia notebok drivers. I am not happy with them as they seem to be causing problems with my fan controller. I have heard a couple of people mention fan problems with the 186.xx series of drivers and as the current official driver on nvidias site is also a 186.xx driver, I was hoping for some suggestions on a good/stable driver.
This is for the 8800m gtx in the old alienware m15x.

You should try the latest driver first. Don't assume it won't work for you.

I only had powermizer issues with 186.82 but 186.81 has been fine, I recommend you try that.

The BEST Driver currently will be:
a.) 186.42(via www.laptopvideo2go.com and it is official WHQL too)
b.) 186.81(can be obtained from www.nvidia.com and it is WHQL)
c.) 186.82(via www.laptopvideo2go.com and it is official WHQL too) -

If you're interested in CUDA 2.3 (the new CUFFT library is much more efficient at single-precision transforms, the main reason I upgraded - improved performance in SETI@Home GPU crunching), the beta 190.38 notebook drivers have support for it.
Otherwise, it's best to stick to the latest stable release, 186.81. -
I have the old 7400 go series..and will soon update to windows 7 64bit, what drivers would be best? I just general gaming..play css/left4dead/killing floor and general use.
im using 179.48 beta from nvidia site currently.
