    Right now i have a 7950 gtx and i should be receiving my 9800m GTS in the mail here in a few days and I cant wait. Im just wondering how much of an improvement i will see. And what would be the best video drivers for my system once i get it.

    Depends on the game you play, if you play a lot of older cpu intensive games the difference will not be that much imho. And offcourse install the latest forceware drivers frop laptopvideo2go.com

    you will need to flash your bios to at least .08 or newer FIRST BEFORE REMOVING THE OLD CARD!!!!!!!!! VERY IMPORTANT!!!! unless you already have done this. also flash the newest keyboard firmware.

    than remove and install the new card. then install whichever nvidia driver you want. go to laptop2go for the lateest ones
