    hello,

    if you would be so kind...

    i am looking for the latest graphics driver for the 945 intel graphic chipset that supports OpenGL.

    currently i am running 7.14.10.1504

    when i installed windows 7, it had a newer driver but it did not support openGL. so i down graded, but now when i try to watch a movie the videoplay back is choppy (not as smoothe as it was before) have been searching high and low, but having difficulties finding a newer driver....

    so does anyone know where i can find a newer driver that supports openGL?

    thanks

    thanks for the reply.

    i have been looking and re-looking over the intel site. do all the drivers support openGL? if so, is there a specific driver that is to be used for the NC10? i notice that there doesnt seem to be any 945 express chipset drivers that dont have letters behind the "945". it is sort of confusing, so i'd like to think its not just me...

    cheers

    The Intel drivers don't have explicit OpenGL support, but it is there.

    Also I believe that Intel produces a graphics driver which supports their whole family, so you may not find a specific driver.

    The attached may be of interest. It is the Cinebench results for the NC10 which I prepared by my review but then took out because most people wouldn't be interested.
