    I searched previous to this post, and the recommended drivers were either older than my current ones, or did not work. I got an error upon installation saying the system could not detect a driver compatible with my hardware.

    So now I am asking for a direct link(s) to a good driver for the Go 6800 in the i9300. I ran 3dmarks and got an ok-score of 3500, but I'd like to get around 4000 without a clean install. I'll be doing a clean install next week, but I'd like to get the best drivers now so I'll know then what to get.

    So what do you guys recommend? I'd appreciate any help and/or advice, thanks.

    I just downloaded the 11/07/2005 release from dell's website. The version that came on my 4 day old i9300 is dated in July 05. I'll install once I'm done talking with dell tech sup (keyboard issues).

    I'll post any results, if any. I'm unsure if any of the standard Geforce style drivers offered on nvidia.com are appropriate for the 'go' lineup.

    Alright, thanks.

    Yeah I just got my i9300 today, so I haven't had too much time to look, but everywhere I did look, something like I mentioned in my above post happened.

    Try the mobile force drivers by Tru. Google search it and you will find it. You will not get up to 4000 without overclocking. I have overclocked my card and I get 45xx...it is in my sig. Good luck. :cool:
