    Just a few questions:

    On NVIDIA's site, there are graphics drivers and platform/nforce drivers. I remember on my old desktop it had an nvidia chipset on the motherboard, and I installed nforce drivers on it.

    So:

    1. a) Does the 2090 have an nforce chipset that could benefit from installion nforce drivers?

    b) If so, what are the nforce drivers I should be using?

    2. What are the best graphics drivers available (for Vista 64 bit)? I can't seem to get a straight answer from looking around on the forums (and I know there probably isn't one, hah.) Just post what graphics driver version your using and if it's better than other one's you've used, I guess. I'm on 162.22 at the moment.

    Thanks.

    the NP2090 uses an Intel chipset, not nVidia so it is not necessary to install nForce. The video drivers on nVidia are mainly for desktop graphics. For the mobile video card support, either download the drivers from Sager's website or another third party website.

    Check out www.laptopvideo2.go.com they have a few. The best one for you? You have to experiment, or find someone with a similar setup. Best of luck, mate.
