I scored 3319 for 3dmark06

is yours 8400GS?

Nope, 8600M GT. A stock 8400GS can go over 3k score in 3dmark06? I don't think so

Wow 3319, nice score , how did you manage that? By upgrading ur driver i presume? Beat my bros acer 5290g score alredy

Yeap, using 163.44

btw, a hotfix from MS Vista for nVidia (or vice versa), found it in Acer Gemstone thread

ops, my mistake, 8400GS @ 1500 only

Thanks for the link. Where do you download the driver btw? Do you download it at Dell website? Or do you used the so called 'modified inf' version? Interested in increasing my 3dmark oso

laptopvideo2go.com
Have to use the mod inf file if not it doesn't recognize mobile graphic card.

Thanks, can't wait to see if my 3dmark score can go up or not. Maybe after this can beat my bros laptop in all 3 benchmarks!

Good luck, but I guess the score is around the same.

hao, the 163.44 driver u put here right, i either get the message it says my vista is not 32 bit (but my vista IS 32bit O.o) or say the software cant detect the driver to install, can you please assist me in this?

My 1520 scored a 3999 in 3dmark06 beautifully.....muacks! my wifeyy....!!

Did you replaced the original inf file with the moded inf file before you install the driver?

guys...do any of u have infrared driver for windows xp?

by default, windows have the right driver installed automatically, if not mistaken.
May I know why you need infrared driver for winxp? for wat purposes?

i installed windows xp over vista and now the infrared port is not functioning...

do you have a Dell remote control? infrared port in 1520 only work for Dell remote control, not for data transfer.
you won't see the driver/item in device manager but work for dell remote control.

what? This model have remote control? Is it supposed to came with the notebook ?
