Hopefully that will at least mean Dell will release new drivers...
Indeed.
But as a looooong-standing member of these forums... you'll know from experience/better than most of us, that it wouldn't be wise to hold our breath meantime :smileyvery-happy:
Sure enough, Dell has released a brand new driver for the 8400 and 8600 GPUs in the M1330.
My question: I have an M1530, which has the same 8400 card that the M1330 has. Why has Dell not released the same driver for the M1530? The website only lists the new driver for the M1330.
Can I DL the M1330 driver and install it on my M1530 (since they share the same GPU)?

I don't see why you couldn't. People have been using drivers listed for other systems all the time.
