19. Graphics Drivers: Excellent Internet Support
This notebook comes with driver version 79.31 installed. The version available in Alienware's online support area was no newer. Downloads from this site are available only to those with a valid user account. Why we decided to use the latest driver for the GeForce Go 7800 GTX from Nvidia's Website, version 83.40. At version 570.02.25.11, the video BIOS on our test machine was more current than the one available in Alienware's support area (version 570.02.21.03).
The support area on the Alienware Web site also offers a snappy download transfer rate of over 230 kB/s, as we observed when download the drivers for the Aurora's WLAN module.
