    I was wondering if the drivers from www.amd.com does work on your dell studio xps 16 laptop? Or do you have to get the mobility modder(used that one before on my FSC xi1546 siemens). Or are thoose drivers approved the dell laptop as well, cause thoose ATI catalyst drivers doesnt always work on very laptop with a ATI gpu.

    As well I have som other questions as well. Is the RGB-LED screen as awesome as everyone is saying, especially on youtube when they review the pc, they say that" the only reason I bought this laptop, was because of the screen"

    And is the installation of windows 7 painless, or are the drivers making trouble?


    And is the radeon 4670 card gdd3 or gddr2, cause there is a difference on notebookcheck.com. The gddr3 version should be able to do at least 7200 points on 3dmark 06, so I was just wondering.

    And does it get that hot as ppl say it that does? Like, is the gpu clocking down to cool down during long session of gaming?



    Btw orderer my xps 16 as well, here are the specs.

    Here's the specification:

    CPU: Intel C2D P8600
