they might be but im not 100% sure, i think what is more likely is that they have made omega drivers that are specifically for laptops, basically mobile versions of their desktop counterparts. they are pretty much the same thing only the mobile versions would have special features and design in order to accommodate a laptop better. my 7900's for example are pretty much the same as the desktop 7900 gs however the drivers for them, unlike the desktop driver versions, have power-saving/control settings and temperature monitoring that are ideal for using with laptops in addition to the regular stuff. if there are omega drivers that can be used with a laptop, they are probably modified versions of the ones for a desktop (so while they are similar, they are not the same). so unless specifically stated that they work either way by whoever made the drivers, dont use desktop versions on a laptop.
