u can install latest forceware out there which is released for desktop GPUs, which otherwise refuses to install w/o a a modified .inf file.

btw, the latest driver in Dell site if bout 7 months old [for 8699M GT], and there is no driver supported for that GPU on nvidia website too.
just google for 8600M GT drivers and u can see many people in dilemma, and that dell driver cant launcg most games, even UT3, GOW, CRYSIS...or nythin new saying the GPU id not supported.
So i had to search around for alternate driver and found that site very helpful. U can install that modified driver even if u dun plan to oc.

Kinda since i dont have a broadband aberr right now... I have to go to internet centre and download... Thats why...

Is the performance better than a core 2 duo plus 2 gb ram plus 8600 on a pc?

If you can wait for a month, Centrino 2 will be out. It is already out in the US (last week)

So, you can either get the latest processor (or get a great discount with the older processors) ... So if you can wait, wait!

There was some discussion about screen brightness, I have a 1330 with LED screen and its really bright, even under sunlight, outdoors.

1530 does not have the option of LED screen in India, but it is available in the US & UK. Hopefully by the time you order it, it should be an option in India as well...

Thanks. for the links but i knew about centrino2 .. i was thinkin maybe you were reffering that some dell lappy ws offering centrino 2 in the US. nyway.

btw do u think india will get centrino 2?? it needs a wimax adaptor to get that certification.. and as per current situation i think thts waste . tho montevina and the new chipset ARE good/ nyexpectancy when wil this make inroads in india?

first go to their forums, anc click on 17x drivr series
and select a good driver, like 175.91 for which users has posted good commentc.
download the driver and also the inf file from the top of the thread, ie the first post.
then extract the pack and replace the inf file among the extracted files.
then u will be able to install the driver w/o ny warnings.

this is a good release
