    Now I hardly do a lot of gaming, but I just started playing WoW, and wouldnt mind optimizing my card a little bit. Are there any drivers out there to make the card a little bit better for gaming?

    Also keep in mind I am not the most computer savy person (I know some stuff but I would hardly say I am a buff). So is the process that hard since I dont think there are any official drivers.

    www.laptopvideo2go.com, read the guides. should not be that hard

    also the t61 nvidia gpu can easily be overclocked by at least 50% with no issues (aside from a little extra heat). atitool 0.27b2 should work well and is easy to use.

    Please take care when overclocking and its best if read up on it first and decide if its the right path for you

    So can someone suggest what drivers would be good for getting the card to perform better with WoW?

    dont play wow myself so you're going to have to play with drivers to find your best fit.

    I've heard good things about 169.13(under xp) and 174.31 (vista)

    You're going to have to play around as some drivers bench better but others seem to have better in game performance.

    also xp would be the way to go if gaming is important to you
