    "Ohhhh! Shiny!" Please do report the results of this driver, inquired minds want to know :)

    EDIT: Do you think we can expect a modded .inf from laptopvideo2go soon(ish)?

    im pretty sure a modded inf will be made soon, but you really dont need any. With vista you just install the drivers by rightclicking on your graphicscard in device manager, pick update, have disk and choose it from the list. no modded inf is needed to force install desktop drivers in vista

    I just tried WoW and just after a few minutes of gameplay, the stuttering started once again. It seems it starts even faster with these and the performance also seems lower than the newest 169.xx drivers.

    I personally cannot recommend these drivers for vista x64 users.
