    Dell finally listened to me about my gtx 260m crapping out on me and gave me a free upgrade to 2x GTX 280m SLI.

    But I am still having problems.

    I can't get all my games working in SLI, and found out that we need a profile update and I can't this patch anywhere's on the nvidia site.

    Since this has hybrid technology, it scaring me into using the only drivers on the dell website, and they seem to be quite outdated.

    And the latest drivers from the nvidia site does not support hybrid technology.

    I am curious what are the other m17x owners using for drivers and does it support this hybrid technology.

    I have 90 days left warranty, and I want to make sure this work right before I complain and get frustrated on the phone again with them.

    Or point me in the right direction.
