    Ran these for about 3 days now. Much better on power than 2279, which pulls aprox 30.000mw on idle, where's 2291's pulling 12.500mw aprox. Result :)

    I just installed them and am having a problem with a modified ICC profile. Every time the screen flashes black asking me to give a program the User Account Control the ICC reverts to the default blue shade. Any ideas?

    Just to recall, in slickie88's instruction, you have to disable "igfxpers.exe" each time a new Intel driver is installed, double check his instructions:
