    I have had my m17x for 2 months now and it has worked great couldnt ask for a better notebook enabling me to experience HD gaming, music,movies etc. well untill yesterday. I thought at first it was my internet was causing latency in my video games but turned out it wasnt. i went to dell forums and found a list of steps to operate, one being the bios ao3 download which fixed my latency for everything exept online gaming, games such as; wow,starcraft 2 beta, etc. when i play world of warcraft i get awful lag, in which my charters attacks, spells are delayed and the game is choppy and slow.i have been looking for a solution to the problem but havent found any
    can anyone help me.

    As mentioned, see the DPC Latency thread post #1 for links to BIOS A03 and the Dell NV Beta Driver (197.31). As for WoW, I believe SLI has been an issue before in the past. Something to consider.
