    It is time to stop the silliness with laptop graphic drivers.

    I agree. But I think it's already been posted somewhere else.

    Well thank goodness. The mobility modder is helpful, but it will be nice to eliminate that step.

    I'm sure Dell would allow it. Why not?

    Dell was one of the ones that always prevented it.

    Its just silly to deny AMD / ATI to release driver updates for notebooks.
    Just look at Nvidia, now they got proper drivers for notebooks, so a trip to laptopvideo2go for driver and custom ini file is not needed anymore.

    confused, I always thought CCC could and was installed on Laptops? I had a Dell SXPS 1640 and installed like 9.10 or something? I've used mobility modder before but I thought that was just like some tweak to get better performance?
