As some of you may of read in the general hardware section I've been somewhat outraged at my 4500M IGPU, on paper its a OK laptop chip that again on paper (10 unified pipelines) should be capable of playing older games with good FPS, yet it doesn't. So I've taken up arms and modded some intel drivers :D What I've actually done is taken the latest Intel drivers meant for the latest i5 and i7 CPUs with on-die IGPU and modded them to work with laptop IGPUs. The performance improvement... is nothing short of staggering. Here is what I used to score with the following configuration:
T7700 (2.4GHz Dual Core, 4MB cache)
2x2GB PC6400 5-5-5-15
4500M
Windows Experience Index score for Desktop and 3D gaming with the latest vanilla intel drivers (2413) were 3.6 and 3.3, respectively. (Sorry no SS forgot to take one)
With my modified 2413 drivers Desktop and 3D gaming scores are 3.6 and 4.1! as can be seen here;

Modded 4500 Driver for Win7 & Vista 64bit Based on latest 2869 driver, last driver I'll make. 3DM06 score with these is 925pts, I doubt these drivers are getting any better without somebody addressing the issues you can read about in the readme file.
