    I just ordered my XPS 1340 with the 256 card. What do I need to do to ensure optimum performance and battery life? Is the driver directly from Dell the best choice? I don't do a lot of gaming at all, more photoshop work. I also don't want the graphics card blowing steam while the laptop is on battery and i'm reading e-mail.
