    Hi all, I just received my GX-600 Neo today and I'm installing the drivers for the notebook right now, but I have no idea where to start w/ the video driver :( Do I have to download the actual driver from laptopvideo2go, or can just download the stock driver from MSI's website and do the whole modded .inf thing later??? Speedy help would be greatly appreciated! TIA

    P.S. Sorry if I sound excited, it's just that this is my first notebook :D

    It's not that difficult to get it from laptopvideo2go.com, just download the executable and the modded .inf, run the executable, replace the .inf in the extracted folder with the modded one, and run the setup.exe in the extracted folder. Viola! :D

    And does the modded inf file have to customized for the specific kind of notebook you have, or does it not matter?

    Also, which driver should I get? (I'm running XP 32 bit right now.)

    The modded inf works for all laptops.

    Okay, so I am about to download the driver on this page right now. You're positive this is a good idea (and my video won't be screwed up :p)??

    If it's screwed up, you can just go back, or install a different one. It's all good. :p
