    Hi guys…

    Now I realized that my DELL drivers for 8600M GT is pretty or just old by doing an online scan through driveragent.com.

    I just want to know my current driver version. When I checked the driver version from the directX console and the device manager it says something like 6.14.0011.0128.

    But that’s not something like what’s on laptop2go.com drivers versions… etc 165, 169 etc. how does these two compared?

    Cheers,

    XP or Vista?

    I'm guessing you have Vista, so:

    v169.25 Vista 32bit

    I'm using this driver for my 7900GS and it's a lot more stable (less buggy) than 169.21 that was released a few days before.
