dunno why, mebbe its the drivers. do check out the best drivers for ur 8400gs card. try out all thats available and decide on the best. my sis' lappy has the same card wid same memory (dell 1420) but it gets a consistant 3.8 rating for it in windows experience.

Actually, U don't really need to. Just uninstall everything u don't need & clean the temp & residual files. Its a cumborsome task but u won't have to re-install.

Welcome to running Windows Vista with 2 GB RAM

nope, nothing. i'm the one who'll be doing all the housekeeping work for her lappy and i hafnt updated. its using the stock drivers out of the box. jus experiment wid different drivers - stock, modded... everthing. i'm sure the rating will increase from the present 3.4.

@gx
pcmcia has been obsolete since a long long time. it was cardbus that was existant all these dayz and the express card has superseded it since the past few months.

Check laptopvideo2go.com & download drivers from there.

Check guru3d.com for latest beta drivers of nVidia.

laptopvideo has 165.01 (w/o WHQL) as latest and nvidia site has 162

 

[infra_red_dude]

ok, i'll check that out and report. you never know, mebbe dell tweaks the driver for their hardware. try hp's site. see if that sht latest. look into their forums as to which drivers gives more performance.

since these drivers are not supported by the gfx card companies, the lappy manufacturers do a lot of tweaking.

nice review

 

[infra_red_dude]

check these sites for optimised nvidia drivers. experiment wid all. one of them will surely suit ur config. you may also try downloading the latest one from hp's site. they apply some specific optimisation to their product drivers.

1) *www.omegadrivers.net/nvidia.php
2) *downloads.guru3d.com/
3) *www.ngohq.com/

Noooo.....don't ruin the beauty of this Laptop with your 6600, borrow some friends cam for some time & take snaps. Make sure they are taken in a well lit enviroment.

The same remote comes with Dell MediaDirect application. Hey manan, can we login to Vista using the finger print scanner, or say...login to yahoo mail in browser?
