    I am currently using the 6909 from LapTopVideoToGo. I installed it about 9 months ago and it was a definite improvement but my screen will have artifacts on it from time to time. I have noticed that Toshiba has finally released a new driver and I wonder if it would be better of if I should just get another one from Laptopvideotogo. Let me know what you think. Thanks for any help :)

    175.63 is what I'm running. There are plenty of newer drivers, but these have been stable for me. I overclock with ATITools when gaming, and they overclock well.

    I have been using 169.09 since last year and have recently been switching drivers to find the best one for my rig. I even tried the new Toshiba driver released last month. It works fine and better than 169.09. The best driver I have found and is still using is 175.19 from Laptopvideo2go.com. It has shader optimization that works excellent with the 87ooGT. I am currently playing COD4 at Native resolution, 4xAA and max settings. As a bonus, I can also play Crysis at "high" settings but no AA and motion blur at 1440x900. Good luck and don't forget the .INF

    Thanks guys. I am currently using the 175.19 and so far so good. Junescelica, I noticed in your sig. that you have upgraded to 4gigs of ram. Can you tell a big difference in performance? Walmart has a 2gig Kingston stick for $69 and I have been thinking about picking it up. Let me know what you think. Thanks again for your help.

    Yes, before I upgraded, Crysis would only play smoothly at medium settings and Hellgate London would stutter when the action gets going. After installing 4GIGS, I was able to play Crysis, Hellgate London and COD4 all at high settings at 1440x900 resolution. For less than what you would pay at Wal-Mart for 2 GIGS, Why not check out NewEgg. If your willing to wait 2-3 days, they have 4 GIGS (2x2 Gigs) Ram that are cheaper and most have a lifetime warranty. Here's a link to the exact one that I bought http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231154
    I have been using mine for 9 months and had no problems. Read the reviews, you'll be impressed.
