    1) patience is a virtue

    2) best driver hands down is 169.09 for my system. The 169.xx series drivers all offer imporved perforamnce for GeForce 7 and 8 series cards and are highly recommended. Get them from here.

    Oh come on, you should know I`m not a newcommer on the forums. I used ,when on Vista, all laptopvideo2go drivers starting from 169.04 all the way up to 169.28.

    I switched to Xp , and I`m trying to get the best drivers possible, without having to actually test them all individually. I`m asking people who had these drivers to share their opinion about which gave them the most performance.

    Patience is not my virtue :D
