    I have a 8600 gs and I was wondering if you guys had any video card driver recommendations. I looked on the laptopvideo2go website and they had 171 series drivers for xp 32bit and 169.09 drivers as well, any recommendations?

    I've got a dv6000z with Go 6150 and I'm using 171.16 on Vista Home Premium 32-bit. Used Ntune to optimize my card and everything is working absolutely perfect. Game fps improved over the 158.45 drivers too.
