I have a pretty good laptop with a Pentium 4 3.8, 3gb ram and a nvidia Geforce 6800 Go Ultra video card which is a more than decent videocard.

However, nvidia doesnt support my videocard anymore, in other words they dont offer new drivers for it in their website anymore, alienware has newer drivers for my card in their website but as everyone should know, alienware sucks.

i've been searching the net for newer drivers, I found a forceware driver and updated my card, the date of my driver is now 8/7/2006

What about later tho? when I install a newer game and I might need to update my drivers? what should I do?

I am also having horrible framerate problems with battlefield 2142, my machine should more than support that game and it runs incredibly smooth and then suddenly the framerate craps out but if I alt tab back to windows then back to the game it kind of fixes itself (sometimes)
