    Depends... ;) You should be able to control the integrated graphics of a dual-core. Though somehow in my case it doesnt make that big a difference.

    Anyone else having any problems with the gestures? I cant seem to get them to work properly, they say they are enabled but dont work. Sometimes they are disabled and I look in the control panel and they are re enabled some how but still dont work. Any ideas?

    The ones i used were the synaptics hp drivers i believe for the gestures. To get them to work I had to actually enable the 2finger gestures in settings for the program. Even still it wasn't really that good on the M15x so i uninstalled them and reverted back to the default M15x/windows driver.

    Have you checked the extraction location? I'm guessing if it's a compressed file with all the drivers it just extracts the drivers and leaves them at the destionation folder, you would have to install them afterwards one by one in the correct order.

    Truth be told, I had never even heard of Alienware Autopsy until now. Did it come with the M15x out of the box?

    No I don't think so but I use it all the time after discovering it. The BSOD diagnostic is excellent.

    I really wish i saw this earlier as i used the resource disk to installed AlienFX when i did a clean format, which bricked all my lights.... :mad: so new motherboard time i guess.

    Will download this and ditch the resource disk...many thanks and a job well done....:thumbsup:
