    So what do others think of the May update plans for the all-in-one (desktop / notebook / netbook) driver updates from Nvidia?

    The lack of hybrid systems support is a little naff, but I never use my integrated anyways, but I'm guessing others are going to be annoyed.

    Be nice for me though being able to get up-to-date drivers without having to use lv2g etc... drivers (as long as the DPC latency fix is incorporated).

    Will have problems just like any other driver. From what I've read nVdia has different driver teams working on different versions. Their big releases such as the "big bang" drivers actually yielded nice results. I woudnl't hold my breath for this release. 730i chipset sucks. I'm sick of it. I always end up crawling back to Intel's chipsets.

    I read that they aren't creating one driver for both, only that the release cycles will be locked together. So both drivers are released at the same day with the same version number.
