Drivers Update Help

I don't know if this is the right place, but I need some help on this. I got a Alienware M11x, custom build. People say it's recommended that I use the dell site where I can put in my Service Tag and have it update my PC's Drivers.

But here is the problem. Many games today when I play claims that my graphic card is out of date. I even slow down in some games. I believe the solution to this is updating my card. But the website keeps showing the same old driver update from the year 2011, 3/16.        .

I believe I have a NVIDIA_GEFORCE-GT335M_A02_R297688, Moblie Intel (R) 4 Serises Express Chipset Family. It's Manufacturer is NVIDIA. I want to update my card to the current date. But I need help so I won't mess up like last time and cause my computer to have no graphics at all. Can I get some help on this please.

    I always go to the NVIDIA site to get the latest drivers.   Should you find that it does not work, you can always do a Windows Restore to get back to what you had.   Some people like doing a clean removal of the old driver.  I prefer not to do that so that I could then be able to do the Windows Restore.  I tried doing a complete clean removal before and that killed the windows restore ability for that particular driver.  

    Do you have the M11X R1 or R2?    I found it easier to update the driver when I had a R2.  When I had a R1, I had to use a mod driver.  It was a pain to get that to work.
