    Hello,

    Sorry I have another question regarding running windows 7 via bootcamp on my MBP.

    The graphic score from windows experience is very low (1.0). Other scores are normal.

    Is there a driver that I can download to fix this graphic issue?

    thank you,
    claus

    also be sure to run that WE analysis more than once at a time.. i've noticed that a lot of times (at least with Vista) the 1st score is below what the actual score is. other people recommend calculating a mean/average of 3 successive analysis runs. either way, run it more than once and see if it helps.

    when you got done installing Windows, did you actually install all the drivers in Windows that you supposed to? or just leave them at defaults that run horribly?

    even the stock driver should run fine.

    Wow, how does he have red rep? I didn't know the forum had a mechanism for negative reputation.

    yes, the only thing attractive at laptopvideo2go now is the development of new sli drivers BY Dox and the release of hybrid sli for the mac. i'm following these development closely as i have the feeling that apple did not include a hybrid sli driver in its bootcamp 3.0
