    Based on your experience, what is the best BIOS release, and the best Video Driver (nVidia 8400) for those who have made the Copper Mod to a M1330?

    I'm looking for something that will control the temps, prevent them from going super high, quiet the fans (I hate when they stay on all the time!), extend the life of my mobo and video card, etc. You know, the same things most of us want :p

    Thanks in advance!


    PS. I'm also planning on buying the Zalman NC1000 cooler as well.
