    when i read reviews i found something that was a little odd!
    you can't upgrade your graphic driver,as nvidia company always releases new driver version you can't use it for your laptop,you'll have just the driver version which is on the graphic cd that included with your laptop!
    is it true? and another question is does dell xps m1530 support newer version or it has same problem too?

    You can install new drivers on any nvidia graphics card.
    For example,
    if you get the 8600gt with the xps1530, it may come with dell's version of say graphics version 132.56.
    Now, you can go to laptopvideo2go's website, and you can download newer nvidia graphics drivers, say 176.32.

    Just save the driver in a folder, and make sure to save a copy on your external harddrive. That way, you have a copy of the drivers if you ever need to format your harddrive.
