    About a week ago I noticed Dell had a slighter higher driver update then the one on Nvidia's web page instead of the 861 it was 863. I gave it a try with newly installed win 7 64 bit and when I watched videos or played games there were major pauses and sound spikes. The video driver gave me about 3 more fps with high settings but was not worth it with all the freezes. Anyone else have this problem? BTW I have a "9500" graphics card and got the freezes with hybrid sli off and on.
