Same drivers, but you can get the modded .INF file so it will actually install on your laptop. They've got forums and such if you run into any questions.

Yay! Just what I was hoping for. I would like to get a few frames in Bioshock.

I started getting this strange full screen graphic error when I died in BF2142. Only noticed it in one game since latest drivers so its hard to say whether its a hardware or software issue. I blew out the gpu (8800gts 640) and monitored temps so heat isnt an issue. Checking cables too. Just throwing it out there in case someone else has similar problem.

These drivers are amazing! I now get 1087 fps at 1280x1024 in GLQuake and 787 in Quake2! Now I can finally use 2x AA and 4x AF!:)
