    I seem to have misplaced my Driver CD. I went to ASUS's site but the site is really slow (10kb/s downloads). I was wondering if the drivers were on other websites? I tried to download the Mobility X1600 Drivers off ATI's site and it says my hardware isn't compatable with the drivers. Whats the problem?

    If there is nowhere else to get the drivers, does anyone have an ISO of the driver disc that they could send me?

    Thanks

    I'd suggest either getting the omega drivers www.omegadrivers.org or selecting one of the other servers on Asus' site to download from --- like europe.

    I second the Omega drivers, they have worked great for me and also come with ATI tray tools.

    I thought the 6.9's had the problem with PowerPlay. I use the 6.8 drivers, but I'm going to be doing a factory restore to my computer, so I'll probably just stick with the stock drivers at that point (maybe go back to the 6.8s).
