Installing an nVidia GeForce4 4200 Go --- Help!

I've looked at Bay Wolf's site, and I know how to actually put the card in and remove my old one.  My question is, where can I find the newest drivers for this card, and will I need a BIOS update? 

Thanks

    Updating BIOS wouldn't hurt

    I suggest using the Detonator 44.03's, I tested a lot of drivers with my old i8500 and this one came out on top with the best mix of visuals and performance. This is also available at www.laptopvideo2go.com.

    Maybe it's the fastest and the best for older games, but for some newer games (FarCry, BF Vietnam, ...) you need at least the 53.03, I suggest the 56.72.

    True, that may be the case.... I got rid of my i8500 before playing such games, so don't know which Nvidia driver handles them best. So go with HMKrieps's suggestion in that case if you play a lot of newer games.

    already posted on the top of this thread by Andrew WOT: http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/
    I recommend that you always take a look at www.nvidia.com just to see what drivers are the latest official ones, as laptopvideo2go often offers beta drivers along with the officials (for example the 60.xx are beta at the moment and I don't recommend beta drivers as they often are buggy)
