    I've recently been have issues playing Bioshock with my gpu slowing down after a few minutes of game play and never returning to the original fps. I read another thread from a g1s owner who said after a reboot, put the computer to sleep/hibernate, wake it up, then game. I tried it and it actually worked! My fps have returned back to normal. Anyone else tried this?

    I had the stuttering problem on my Dell Inspiron 1520. I was able to solve this problem by updating the drivers. At one point, I did post what drivers I used that fixed the problem - but I forgot. And the search function doesn't work, so I can't check them :(.

    If you feel comfortable with video drives from laptopvideo2go.com , try playing around with some of the drivers there and see if they fix the problem.
