    Where do I get Nvidia Laptop Graphics Drivers?

    Tried every package i could seem to find off the nvidia site and none of them seem to support my Geforce FX 5600 GO...

    At the moment im stuck using Sony's latest build of the driver dating from 2004 mid some time, so im on the lookout for something newer, anyone got any bright ideas?

    Provided i can install the driver and they support the FX5600 go it'll please me!
    Thanks to anyone who can provide help.

    Always get mine from here

    Just click on the nvidia link at the top of the page. The drivers will do all the chips whether they're lappy or desktop.

    It's the ati 9700 on my vaio but figured it was the same crack for the nvidia ones - always use the omega's now, x800xl in my main machine at home as well.

    seems the nvidia omega's havent been updated in a while, the current forceware is 82.xx and the Omega's im using are based on the 69.xx release... however ive managed to get agp 8x working, and coupled with these drivers sees this laptop a fair deal capable for gaming.

    Unfortunately im limited by 64mb memory
    I can run black and white 2 fine in 1024x @ low and it still admittedly looks ok
    I can run generals maxed out, and bf 1942 on 1024x maxed as well.

    Any chance u could give me a temperature read out of your vaio mate?
    Im wondering if mines running a little hot, then again its a laptop so i guess there's not much room for the air to circulate... it seems to top out around 65 degrees on the chip and 48 on the hdd when in use.
    Are these figures ok? Oh and ive ramped the core on my FX 5600 go to 300mhz so far with no issues
