    hi guys,

    i want to download the latest 7600 go drivers and i was wondering where can i
    download them from?
    if i go 2 nvidia.com i see the "geforce go 7 series" but it looks like it only supports the 7800 and 7900 cards...or maybe im wrong?...it doesnt say anything about the 7600 even in the release notes

    and i rather not d\l the drivers from some unknown site by a google search

    plz respond

    ty!

    You're correct, only the 7800 and 7900 go are supported by drivers found on Nvidia's site. For your 7600, you'll need to download a special modded driver from another site; there's a sticky in graphics section of this forum that can help you update your drivers.

    hmmm i looked at the release notes of the newest forceware drivers in nvidia.com that the above post suggested and it only says that the 7600 GT
    or the 7600 GS r supported...nothing in there about the 7600 GO

    :(

    Intoshadows,

    Follow Iskra advice and go to laptopvideo2go.com and download the drivers and inf file there. Works great. I did it 1 month ago and had great results.

    Scott,

    What are the steps you followed to install the 8498 drivers? I tried to install them and had some problem. I was trying to install them over the older nVidia drivers that shipped with the laptop.

    Also, what difference in performance did you notice?

    Thanks as always.

    Gary

    Scott,

    never mind because I did find the Have Disk procedure at the Laptopvideo2go site. Installed fine but any tweaks to help color or performance would be good from you or anyone else. Thanks.
