What to use for Lenovo w500 FireGL V5700 Graphic Driver for Windows 7 64bit?
I been madly searching through the web for the right graphic driver for Windows 7 64bit for Lenovo Thinkpad W500 using FireGL v5700 ever since i got an error saying "GPU is not supported" by the OS. So after struggling finally found the forum talking about this specific topic at http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?p=5313257.
Basically, Windows 7 64bit Mobility Radaeon HD 3000 series works very well in replace of FireGL v5700.

NOTE that before making this decision to install Mobility Radaeon HD 3000 series I did LOTS of on-line research to find that FireGL v5700 is basically same as Mobility Radaeon HD 3650. Also if you read the forum talking about this MastahRiz complains about certain games not working in widescreen. Luckily, my laptop is purely for work so it is not my concern :)
