i have used the tool to install graphics drivers for my notebook which has an ati mobility 9000. what i want to know : has anyone until now had his notebook damaged ( chip burned or something else ) after it used this tool ? i play cs and i think it uses the chip about 80-100 %. could the use of desktop drivers force the physical limits of my board and burn the chip ? what is the difference between the desktop drivers and mobility ones ???

It is impossible that a driver can burn a chip.

The difference between the desktop and the mobility drivers is that the mobility driver have the settings and device ids in it, so in driver there is not real difference.

Difference between them is tweaks and whatnot. It cant physically kill your card...
