    Went ahead and installed these on my M1530, can confirm sleep and hibernation work without any problems.

    I'm on Vista 64 bit by the way.

    I love this driver. On my computer, Lock On: Modern Air Combat always crashes after 20 to 40 minutes of gameplay even with stock drivers. No such problem with this one. Thank you!

    Well with the 182.68 I went from about 40-50 FPS to about 30 even. But I have noticed a huge improvement in the graphics, I had an issue with Screen tearing with and without the vsync. No now tearing and smooth game play all around.

    ...and they're excellent, as far as I can tell. I can't say I've noticed any improvement in the amount of CPU engaged in video, but my 3D Mark '06 score to 6639 Marks.

    and that's on a 9600M GT! :D

    Does anybody get tearing on the screen after coming back to a computer left idle for a few minutes? It seems to only happen on the desktop; it doesn't show when I drag a box around it or maximize an application.
