    make sure you are in high performance mode (default settings)

    try the 266.08 from dell....you might be suffering from the same issue i have had to face (Optimus does not disengage the intel integ. GPU)

    and you wont get any drivers from NVIDIA working on these rig's until and unless you modify the VBIOS/ hack the inf. and thus loosing WHQL on the drivers
