    Depends on your OS. Check out www.laptopvideo2go.com, which have later drivers available for nVidia cards than what Acer is capable of releasing.

    Good to hear someone updated to 176.37! Any improvements in games or 3DMark?

    OK, I did an upgrade - lost about 10 points in 3DMark06, but I haven't tried any games yet.

    Back on 175.61 after either my hard drive repartioning or the driver update caused my system to not enter Sleep or Hibernate.
    Baaaad news.
    So, I used a Complete PC Restore.
    Might not go to 176.37 again - 175.61 is working just fine.
