    I'm a lil new at this so here goes:

    Since I don't have a clue how to tweak my 9400m to the fullest of its ability's I thought I make a thread so we can discuss the latest drivers, flash beta 10, best settings for optimal performance ... etc
    ________________
    • Link to adobe flash player 10 *beta* adds GPU-acceleration for smoother online HD videos

    * Note- if anyone thinks I should add something, let me know and I will update


    And now I will start this off by asking, what are the best settings for optimal performance for gaming or best settings for nice quality HD videos online

    Would it support the 9500M ... could fix those performance issues people have when SLI is engaged

    And on another note, flash beta 10 is awesome, 9400m got a lil warm but all is good, It is connected to the 32 inch Vizio though

    I would also recommend 9500m GE users and 210m users to use nhaner to force hybrid sli on some games so that they will run smoother.

    Hi!

    Sorry if it's the wrong place, I saw most of you own a SXPS 13, the one I'm planning to purchase, so just wanted to ask.

    Does the P8700 and G210M handle GTA IV on 800x600 or 1027x768 with shadows on?

    I've read several threads about this laptop not able to run the game even on 800x600 without serious lag, but I'm confused, since I saw videos on YTube of MaBook Pro-s with 2.26 (P8400) and 9400M (slower than the G210M accodring to notebookcheck bencmarks) running GTA IV fine in 800x600 with shadows.

    Why should a 9400M and a P8400 perform better in a Mac than a G210M and a P8700 does in a Dell.

    Clueless, but maybe only because I'm an avarege consumer.

    Help much appreciated.

    cheers!
