    I run a 1520 laptop w/ Vista 32 bit and 8600m GT. What are the latest drivers I can get from Laptopvideo2go.com that will not disable powermizer from working?

    The drivers wont disable powermizer. What happens with some drivers is that if you want to oc you have to disable powermiser

    Well, 169.04 and 169.09 work fine, you can oc without disabling powermiser, although in Vista you wont see the powermiser tab on the nvidia control panel (but it is working).

    169.04 allow you to do it all. Some might say it's old, but I like them. I can OC and it stays there. I can use my battery and still have full speed, or enable powermizer so it lowers my clocks to the 2D settings which saves power.
