    Hi There --

    Has anyone found a source for updated or modded graphics drivers for the T500 that achieve something similar to tweak that made the T61p's Quadro driver be recognized as a GeForce driver? Or is the latest and greatest from Lenovo the best (only?) way to go for now?

    Thanks for your help,
    rb

    why would you need to do this. solely for the reason of gaming ?

    well you can mod ati´s drivers simply by exchanging the device id in the ****.inf file. every cad card from ati and nvidia has an equivalent graphics board on the gaming side ( radeon or geforce).

    my guess would be that you just copy the device id of your graphics card in nvidias ****.inf and replace the device id of the geforce equivalent with your device id.

    when you are installing you may choose now between two cards ( quadro and radeon ).

    thats the way it works with ati´s drivers.
