    I believe a list is needed to be made of all the best/stable drivers available for the M17x R1.
    Video Card, Bios, OSD, CC ect.

    Thanks

    This is what I've been using and is stable for me.

    260.99 driver from NVIDIA
    Bios A03 is working best for most but I've been fine with A05.
    The rest, I use the latest drivers from dell.

    Form me:

    Nvidia - 260.99 (SLI GTX-260m)
    Bios - A05 (I had to upgrade to 05 when I started getting power adapter warnings after a motherboard replacement)
    Dell: Up to date (I look up all dell/AW drivers/program updates before I install)

    Really, everything is up to date... unbelievable as it is, the new is the best 0_o

    At present I have the P06 beta graphics card driver from Dell with the A05 bios. All other the other drivers are the latest avaliable.

    May try the 260.99 driver this afternoon.
