    well i looked on nivdia's website but they only offer drivers for my nividia geforce go 7900 gs on xp will they eventually release drivers for vista ?

    also if there are any other drivers i could download for it i would appreciate your help because im getting terrible performance in source games

    i also know that it might be a while before anything gets released so im not complaining just wondering

    I think your best bet at the moment would be to get a modded .inf from laptopvideo2go.com and use the newest desktop drivers from Nvidia.

    Not at all, and if anything goes wrong you would just have to uninstall that driver and get a different one.

    Yeah, they are pretty stable and there are several different ones to try.

    Just a quick note that those drivers on laptopvideo2go are better than Vista's default, but still arent fully optimized yet. Games like BF2142 are still suffering with framerate decrease, at least on my laptop they are.

    If not, someone feel free to correct me and then tell me how I can correct my issue :p
