    I updated the driver. Now windows 7's start up time is faster in the welcoming sign. When i have original driver, the circle thing under the Welcoming sign would froze. Now the circle thing will keep running and change to desktop faster. Also the switch time to get hybrid sli or just using one graphic is faster than the original dell driver.

    Do these drivers support GPU video acceleration for Flash 10.1 beta?

    Yes! after you install the drivers uninstall you existing flash player from control panel and install 10.1 beta from abode's site

    Yes I did, there isnt anything huge but I think it got rid of my video studdering, Im sure there are a few fixes that will address every one

    lol thats strange, WEI is a joke, I overlocked my CPU and 9400m, so the WEI score went up,,, after I reset everything back to defaults and deleted ntune, and re-ran the WEI the score stayed the same as overclocked.

    You said you're getting good gaming performance right? If so, is it better than from previouse drivers?

    When i used the dell driver, the whole game lagged a lot even i turned off the shadow. Now i put everything to the max except AA, my laptop works fine with it.

    Downloaded it and it works fine for me too. The previous version didn't give me any problems.
