  |  Best way to get new drivers for laptop GO 6100 hey everyone, I've recently purchased a new laptop for seminary and was trying to figure out how to update the drivers for the lowly go 6100 video card from nvidia that is on it. However, I can't seem to find a viable way to do it. Since I've never messed with a laptop before...I thinking that some of my fellow friends at PC Apex may have a solution. The currently installed drivers are the 98.15's but according to everything, it seems those are vastly out of date and HP (who the laptop is made by, well...really compaq) doesn't have any other drivers available newer than those... That was one long drawn out sentence just to say - HP isn't any help for new drivers....lol I just don't know the ins and outs of mobile video cards and was just looking for some helpful pointers  Thanks guys!

  | Re: Best way to get new drivers for laptop GO 6100 Use the TweaksRUs mobile drivers at www.tweaksrus.com Site seems to be down at the moment but they do some really good modded .INFs and repackages that should run on any laptop. Other than that, LaptopVideo2Go is also pretty good: LaptopVideo2Go ~ Download NVIDIA Drivers & Setup Installation Files (INF)

| Re: Best way to get new drivers for laptop GO 6100 You can also try Nvidia's website, and if the laptops running Vista Windows Update.

| Re: Best way to get new drivers for laptop GO 6100 Don't know if that will work; on my Dell you had to get Dell-specific drivers or the installation would claim your had incompatible hardware.

| Re: Best way to get new drivers for laptop GO 6100 It worked fine for me with my HP the one time I got them from nVidia's website. Otherwise I just let Windows Update handle.

| Re: Best way to get new drivers for laptop GO 6100 Must be just Dell then. They're pretty tight on who can do what with their graphics cards; they lock the BIOS' so coolbits/nTune don't work

| Re: Best way to get new drivers for laptop GO 6100 I was able to install the newest drivers on my laptop. Everything seems to be working fine. Don't know if they actually helped any, the GO6100 is a pretty sub par graphics card to begin with...

| Re: Best way to get new drivers for laptop GO 6100 I'm not sure if he can. When I was running on a desktop on integrated graphics I wasn't able to. I didn't try to hard though. Either way it can't hurt to try.

| Re: Best way to get new drivers for laptop GO 6100 Likely Rivatuner or ATi Tool will work. That's what I use for the 7900GS in my Dell i9400, although I had to flash a modded bios to unlock the clocks.
