New Dell Driver for laptops - Finally

Dell has available (but not yet on the Dell site) an Nvidia GO board drive, 101.19. See the last few pages of the "flicker" posts:
 
 
It works great, eliminating the flicker problems and features a complete Control Panel.

    FYI     http://www.wikiupload.com/download_page.php?id=164863  faster download here.
     
     
    "I tried the driver's lin submitted by the dell development team to fjarvis and everything FINALLY works wonderful. NO MORE FLICKER !!! Games are top notch. Half life 2 runs perfectly at 1920x1200 resolution. I think they finally got it... The driver is older than the one I downloaded from dell and I had to uninstall the driver before installing this new (old) one, but it was well worth it. Been using it for last 3 days now and everything is wonderful. Movies, games internet, Aero animation. No flicker....."
     
    "In the nvdm.inf file, here are the graphics card supported by this driver:
     
    Geforce Go 7300
    Geforce Go 7400
    Geforce Go 7900 GS
    Geforce Go 7900 GTX
    Geforce Go 7950 GTX
    Quadro FX 350M
    Quadro FX 1500M
    Quadro FX 2500M
    Quadro FX 3500M
    Quadro NVS 110M"

    Use the first link by the OP, and read through that long thread.

    I bet by the time good vista drivers come out the 7000 series go cards will not be supported.

    I'm still getting problems with the new drivers.  I've gone all over the place trying to find a solution, yet none seem to exist.  So, is there something else wrong with my system?

    Did you try the 101.19 driver listed specifically for the 7950 GTX? Should be on the driver page for any of the XPS laptops.

    Yes.  As far as I can tell, it's still a bit laggy on Guild Wars, for instance. 
     
    And Command and Conquer 3 is only okay on minimal settings.
