    First of all, Hi everyone.

    Now, I have the Dell Latitude D620. I know this isn't exactly a gaming laptop, but I got it cheap and it seemed good enough.
    Now I just erased my harddrive and reinstalled windows xp and downloaded those drivers I could from the dell homepage (some of them couldn't download them on my comp weird enough).

    Now I am a world of warcraft player (raider) and before I erased my harddrive wow went smooth enough, but now it suddenly hopps down to 1-4 fps every 10 min or so. I have no idea whatsoever could be causing this, so any help would be greatly appreciated (can't raid until I have fixed this..).

    Here is the comp:

    if you're getting poorer performance than before then it looks like a driver problem. try www.laptopvideo2go.com for nvidia drivers.

    That link was kinda confusing. Just said version and stuff, but not like what the driver was (or i'm just a little dumb =) )
    Now may be a loot to ask, but could you give me direct link to the drivers?
    Did a scan and it said these drivers werent updated:
    NVIDIA Quadro NVS 110M

    Intel(R) 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7-M Family) Serial ATA Storage Controller - 27C4

    O2Micro CCID SC Reader

    Biometric Coprocessor

    Ethernet-kontroller

    O2Micro OZ6812 CardBus-kontroller

    Intel(R) 82801GBM (ICH7-M) LPC Interface Controller - 27B9

    Mobile Intel(R) 945GM/PM/GMS/940GML and Intel(R) 945GT Express PCI Express Root Port - 27A1

    Dell Wireless 350 Bluetooth Module

    Btw, kontroller=controller.

    www.laptopvideo2go.com is the best for GPU drivers. Just read their FAQ how everything works.

    But shouldn't your system come with all the drivers on a disc? Or a recovery disc for reinstalling Windows? Using those might solve your problem.
