    Which driver would give me the best performance? also, how do I access the clock speed settings for my card, I've tried RivaTuner and ATiTool but I can't find any overclocking settings :confused:

    Trial and error I'm afraid. I like the 174 series, but anything above 174.20 stutters like mad for me. I use nTune, it needs setting every time I reboot but it seems to work well for me.

    174.31~ WHQL & Dell certified. Can be downloaded thru Dell for the M1330 but it WILL work for the M1530.

    I'm using 163.75 at the moment, and it seems to be the best I've used so far.
