    why bother...

    go to laptopvideo2go.com and use modded drivers that are tweaked specifically for notebooks....

    If you choose the M/go series yes, they are for laptops. Otherwise, go to laptopvideo2go.com.

    Yea but with most laptops you get the message to go to the Manufacturer Site and download the drivers there, just download them from laptopvideo2go

    New Nvidia drivers can technically be used with ANY Geforce graphics card, since they use the "Unified Driver Architecture". However, you will need to use the modified inf to install the driver.

    Laptopvideo2go are kind enough to tweak the *.inf files, so you will be able to use the newest drivers for your laptop.
