and i want to install better drivers for the graphics card (ATI Radeon 64Mb X300) so i was thinking about "Omega Drivers" or "ForceWare GO" drivers ?
Or there r other better drivers ?
And can i mix RAM ? i mean if i have 256mb 333MHz ram can i add a 533MHz type or i only can add 333MHz ?

Welcome to Windrivers b00ndit.
Ram - bad idea to mix ram speeds, one slows down to the other, or refuses to boot, or turfs up odd errors...
Laptop radeons are not the same as agp cards... if Omega has done a laptop version, then why not? There is a utility floating around to make catalysts install on a laptop.... but sometimes it does screw up.

So i better put a 533MHz instead of the 333 ?

In order to download and read your manual to ascertain the specifications of the machine, I need to know which area of the world you are in... nothing comes up under us or uk...
Or you could do this yourself... check the specifications for additional ram in the manual - it may be on a cd or a book. As to the drivers, again you need to refer to LG support for your notebook (http://www.lge.com/catalog/prodlist?categoryId=CTG1000651&modelCategoryId=CTG1000667&parentId=CTG1000439) LG have divided their support into regions and do not list the notebook under us/uk.

ForceWare GO drivers are Nvidia drivers, so you don't need to consider those at all.
