    Which one in your opinion is the best nvidia driver? Omega, Stock, laptop2go, other. To define best: most stable-BSOD is bad, use less threads in memory, overall faster(less junk)

    I'm using stock Dell drivers right now. I tried Xtreme-G, but they decreased performance.

    Dell drivers worked the best for me. Everything else slows down HL2 and CSS.

    I'm using drivers from 3DChipset - they work the best for the 7800 Go card from my experiences. Omega drivers were pretty bad - at least for my particular GPU.

    I'm using 91.33 Laptop2go drivers for my GeForce Go 7400, which shot my 3DMark06 score up by nearly 100.

    Stock Dell drivers worked perfectly fine and I had no problems w/ 'em, but wanted to see if I could boost my scores.

    Omega drivers crashed my system.

    What is the difference between Stock Dell and LaptopVideo2Go drivers? I don't think there is any :confused:
