Geforce GO 7600 notebook drivers

Crazyfist

Hi all, new user here reccommended by a friend...

I just bought an Alienware laptop (see spec)

Spec:
Core 2 Duo T7600 cpu
2x 1GB DDR2 PC5300 ram (dual channel)
Nvidia Geforce GO 7600 Hybrid m5550 (256mb)

As you can see, the spec is pretty good... then why can my old PC i built myself 2 years ago out perform it on next gen games like HL2, Doom3, COD2 etc... the old pc spec was an amd 64 3500, 1 gig of ram in dual channel, and an ati x800 pro running on the latest catalyst drivers. The power saving options in the BIOS are both set to disabled aswell btw, so i SHOULD be getting the most out of the laptop..

Im assuming the new laptop isnt performing as well as it should due to bad drivers (m5550_VGA_NVIDIA_8.4.7.1) and was wondering if anyone could reccommend the best drivers so i can actualy be happy about spending so much money on this machine

Any advice is good advice, so thanks in advnace.

Well, you can try to use some tweaked drivers such as DHzer0point and see what they do for you. =) But you have to be sure to uninstall your old drivers properly and then use DriverCleaner Pro to clean it out for good.
But just FYI, your current drivers aren't that old, so you shouldn't be having much problems performance wise.
And also, even though your GO 7600 is nice and all... in raw power and in non-SM3.0 games, the X800 Pro of yours will swamp that GO 7600 any day.

Yeah i know the x800 is a better card, but look at the cpu and ram dif from the 2 machines, games like HL2 are jjust as much cpu/ram based as they are gfx card based now, i assumed that this would stand in my favor... i got some drivers from www.laptopvideo2go.com witha modded .inf file etc... once installed i got 100% performence increase, from avg fps of 42.3 on my original drivers to 88.8 fps with the new ones (cs:s stress test)

Thanks for the help anyway m8.
