    So far I have most of the drivers I need, however, does anybody have a good site to get the video drivers 8600GT?

    So far this is what I got for installed drivers,
    Intel Mobile Chipset driver
    Ricoh driver
    440x network driver
    Webcam Driver
    all from the dell site

    Got the wireless driver from intel

    Got audio driver from a previous post

    All I need now is the video driver I believe

    Are there any other drivers I need??

    Do I need the SATA Driver?


    Thanks to anyone who can help.

    That is the best alternative. You can also install tweaked Omega drivers, but I recommend (and prefer) Laptopvideo2go because I like them clean (no tweaks / hacks).

    Thanks guys. I set up XP with nlite to get the sata drivers on there. XP is much faster than VIsta and my benchmarks went up across the board.

    Hi,

    I have ordered a Dell 1520 with Vista, but most of my current application will run only in XP. So Can you please guide me, how to convert the Vista to XP in the DELL Inspiron 1520.
