    Yea I can't seem to get bioshock to work on my g1s. Has anyone else had problems? I tried going to the bioshock forum but they seem to be swamped so I was seeing if anyone where has gotten it fixed. It freezes after the main movie for me.

    Strange. I got Bioshock working on my G1S today. I use XP though. Did you try lowering the resolution and turning off all the graphics options? It should work on normal, but just see if it works on very low.
    Also did you update to the latest drivers?

    A G1S should max it in 1280x800 DX10. Lower a bit or overclock memory (and coire :)) for 1680x1050
