newbie needs to understand some things
before he can ask intelligent questions:
What is the difference between a nVidia Geoforc and an nVidia Go Geoforce? I presume the Go is for laptops? Can I use a geoforce driver on a geoforce go card? thanks |

Can I use a geoforce driver on a geoforce go card? thanks GeForce is the name given to nVidia's consumer desktop video cards. GeForce Go is the name given to laptop based video chipsets. You must use the driver supplied by the laptop manufacturer for proper GeForce Go operation. Each laptop model has very specific features that can only be properly utilized by the drivers made for it. The desktop GeForce Forceware suite will not install on GeForce Go. |

No. They use different chipsets so they need different drivers.

1. Have you tried playing Bioshock with your current drivers?
2. There are groups that modify the nVidia desktop drivers to make them installable on the Go chipsets. See http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/drivers . Be sure to select your operating system from the menu on the left side. For Vista 32-bit and XP 32-bit, the driver you'll want to use to play Bioshock is 163.44. Like E! said, there may be some unique features in your Dell that the desktop drivers won't recognize. Usually this amounts to fewer refresh rate or screen resolution choices, or slightly different behavior on the external VGA port. Set a System Restore point before installing the modified drivers. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.

Guess I'll wait along time to play bioshock on my Dell. Thanks |

Good suggestion. I installed their latest driver but I kind of get a 'slicing' effect that makesthe screen unusable. I'm following up on the forums over there. Yes, it seems Dell is somehint of a special case. I suppose relying on a laptop for gaming might not have been the best idea |
