    I recently ordered an M1530 and was wondering what the ideal gaming settings would be.

    I ordered it with a T5850, 4 gig ram, and an 8600m gt.

    Best drivers?
    Settings for Crysis, Stalker, Oblivion, and The Witcher?

    Thanks!

    T5850 might be a little weak.... but should do fine

    Well I ran Crysis on medium-ish on this laptop, which is equipped with a 8600M GT GDDR2....

    the 8600M GT in the 1530 is GDDR3 I believe and some people said it would boost performance.....

    You should be fine running games on medium.
