    i was under the impression that nvidia didn't support driver wise their mobile graphics cards,

    mine are 9800gtx's sli'd on my sager 9262

    and it would hurt my laptop to download the drivers for desktop's from the nvidia site?

    Laptopvideo2go offer the latest drivers and are considered some of the best available.
    Just install and play around with the best drivers that suit your needs.

    Try downloading the latest WHQL drivers from nvidia's website, then getting the modified inf from laptopvideo2go and see if that works.
