BTW guys, I have n nVidia 6800 (or 8600?) GeForce **GO**in my lappy. Can I use other nVidia drivers with it or should I stick to the one that was released for the lappy?
I actually don't really have problems with it (although sometimes it gives weird cross hair like effects).
I don't think you can use other Nvidia drivers with your card, if it would even load I doubt it would work correclty if at all, but you should be able to get the correct driver for your card, especially if it is branded Nvidia. Nvidia does have downloads for the GO series. I tried the link listed above in this post for Nvidias site. It takes you right to the page needed for finding your correct driver.
I guess the real question is do you have enough of a problem with it to really experiment with trying to update your driver. In the old days Packerd Bell and Compact were notorius for taking other manufacturers chipsets and drivers and tweaking them to make them their own. Then you were stuck with that driver that was supplied with that machine, modems were even worse. As I stated above as long as your card is actually branded Nvidia, and you can get the actual series of the card, I don't think you'll run into to many problems. Just make sure you have backed up everything before attempting to update.
