    Hey is there a easy tool or place in the bios to overclock the gpu a bit, also where can i get the latest STABLE or most RECOMMENDED Optimus driver update, I have the very first drivers so unless windows update updates it i don't have anything newer.

    Thanks for help if you can point me in the right direction.

    You can overclock your GPU using something like evga precision. My settings 510/1200/810 which are nice and stable for me at least :)

    As for the optimus driver, Dell will always have the most 'stable & recommended' driver avalable so you may want to go and download them. Though personally i use nvidia's newer 258.96 which can be installable with a simple driver mod located here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/alienware-m11x/501564-nv-verde-notebook-driver-258-96-whql-discussion-relating-m11xr2.html which i have no problems with.
