    Is there a kind soul out there that can give some instructions on how to tweak the x200 in order to generate better perfomance than out of the box.

    I have tried to install the latest nvidia driver but in Vitsa (32) I get a error message box that the driver is not compatible with the toshiba and refers me to toshibas homepage. But I have read on this forum that some of you guys have the latest nvidia driver. How did you do it?

    Please post your tips and tricks to make my baby go faster, better, stronger.

    Thx
    /Sam

    For best performance I think its the best to re-install the clean Vista from scratch (not using this "recovery CD" packed with ton of Toshiba bloatware).

    For latest display drivers, try to use ones from http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/ You will get at least 10% boost by using the latest Forceware instead of Toshiba one.

    Also for other drivers its better to use fresher versions from manufacturers websites and not from Toshiba. For example, for WLAN, LAN, Audio and Robson Cache.
