    Hey, U just bought a Dell XPS M1530, and it came pre-installed with Windows Vista Home Premium (which is great) and I did a windows update and one of the updates was a

    nVida - video - NVIDEA GFORCE 8600M GT

    Does that mean that if i do a windows update and a graphics card update like that comes up does that mean that it updates the graphics card drivers for me? Or do i have to do that seperatly?

    Thanks

    Don't use the Word "Hacked" ... Its "Modded" for Laptops because the Video Drivers from Manufacturer Website are only supported for Desktop PC's.

    I had that same problem, and when I downloaded the update through Windows I had a severe performance drop in games...so now I stick with LV2Go.
