    Isn`t that for Vista 64?

    When I try to use nvidia search tool I only get "You must contact Dell for appropriate driver". They don`t even have 8400M GS i the dropp down list of gpu`s.

    I love Nvidias gear, but dropping support and development of your own hardware drivers on somebody else is effed up something chronic.

    Thanks Bro!
    Gonna try it later today(after work...). I`m trying to get Age Of Conan Beta to work properly on my 1330. It lags a lot. Have Vista 32bit installed.

    Tried "can you run it" service: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest

    Says it should manage fine but it`s not the case at the moment. Really want to be able to use my 1330 to gaming aswell.... I\m not picky, just as long as I get decent frames and the quality is tolerabel. :rolleyes:
