I can't seem to find the latest Nvidia GeForce FX Go5200 drivers on Nvidia's website. Anyone know where they are? I have version 6.14.10.5821. Maybe teraflop122 could help me?

Have you tried DriverGuide?

Hey, give me some credit, I'm just as much of an uber computer g33k as teraflop, if not more!
Well, anyway, these look like a recent pretty driver set:

Seeing that the current beta drivers are 81.87, and it only supports the 7800 go.

I'd rather get it from NVidia's web site?

Guru3d > Nvidia.
If you really want it so bad dig through their FTP. Doubt you'll find it though.

Why?

Hm, I just read something, and I read that Forceware doesn't support the Go cards, so I should look at Dell's website?

Just looked at Dell's website, the latest driver from Dell is 6.14.10.6742. Since Half-Life 2 works fine with my version, I don't really care to go through the hastle.

The special "ForceWare software for NVIDIAÂ® GeForceâ„¢ Go" does, though.

Too much trouble? The the whole point of upgrading drivers is to achieve maximum performance and visuals (and the odd compatability issue), so why would you be contempt with just "works fine"?

So ForceWare will work fine with my Dell Inspiron 5160? What link should I use to download ForceWare for the Go GPU's? I'm guessing the link in the top left panel under revelant links?

That only supports 7800GTX Go cards. Just get the one I linked to at Guru3d.

I've been looking through Guru3D Forceware downloads, and I'm wondering what WHQL is?

I'll keep ForceWare 77.70 Go around around just in case.

I've looked at the Control Panel and it says that I have nView? Should I get nView or ForceWare? I'm confused.

It stands for "Windows Hardware Quality Labs," it basically means it has passed a check by M$. If it doesn't have one though, that could just mean it hasn't even been screened by M$, it doesn't necessarily mean it failed.

Check my edit.

Nview is just a little utility that is used to configure multiple monitors, and just about anything to do with the Desktop (such as transparent windows and other cool things). I'm pretty sure it's bundled with most of the drivers, so you shouldn't have to worry about it.

Ok, thanks for the help. I'm going to email Dell and see what they say.
