This is baked into Windows/Linux. You do not need drivers for this CPU. That being said, it's 2 Core 2 Thread 2 MB Cache @ 1.9 GHz. It's going to be slow. Your best bet is to cut down the OS as much as possible.

Thanks for the help apparently im stuck with this bullcrap of a laptop and was trying to find ways to make the experience more smooth and maybe see if it would make a diffrence in performance. When you say cut down o the OS what do you mean exactly. Could you explain it more?

Removing any unnecessary software, clearing caches and temp files, optimizing drives, etc.

You might also want to try a lightweight Linux distribution such as Lubuntu or an Arch Linux derived pack (ArchBang, Manjaro, etc.). That being said, I've noticed web browsing is starting to get seriously CPU intensive, these CPU's and slower noticeably chug in any scenario. Take the time to ponder the meaning of life?

I will make good use of that time but for browsing purposes it's fairly okay i guess. My main interest is in games but as me and you for sure know that ain't happening but still thanks for you time and i will keep your advice in mind
