    Hey all, I've recently been trying to update my alienware with dual gtx 280m's and a 9400m. I found an awesome youtube video that helped me update the 9400m by just messing with some code but I can't find one that will help me update the 280m, so I'm stuck with a really old driver from 2010 that Dell says I should have. Can anyone lend me some help? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks! (I'm aiming for the 310 update but the 306 would be fine too)

    Also, as a side note, is there a specific way to make my alienware use both drivers? The update to my 9400m didn't seem to do anything, leading me to believe that it is only uses my 280m's to run games.
