    Dimensions are 20x10x2,5cm (7 3/4 x 3 7/8 x 1 ")
    Weight is 800gr. (1lb 13oz) including cables.

    Here some pics (on the left is the M4400's 130W adapter):

    Actually it is as "slim" as the M6400's base unit:

    Yes and it feels so much lighter too.
    It's a good compromise if you need the power when you're on the road. If you don't need the full power the M4400's adapter might be even better.

    Well another few hours of gaming and system is running strong so far.
    Tomorrow's the big test..12+ hours of gaming at a lan party.
    If nothing goes wrong then 185.66 gets the thumbs up for me.
    My thanks to everyone for their help :)

    Because I use it for VMs as well as photoshop..
    .

    Have to say this baby runs extremely hot...had 2 crashes tonight and I really think it's thermal related as the underneath was very hot.
    Will definitely have to get some sort of cooler or stand for it.

    Tried 185.85 yet?
    It's on NVidia's site, WHQL, and available for all flavors of x64 & x86, Quadro & GeForce.

    Had same results as with 185.81: installed fine, but after restart the screen is super-dim... back to 181.71. Seems like Release 185 doesn't like the RGB LED screens?
