    It seems that two Nvidia DX10 demos, Arianne and Cascades are having problems with the P6831, Cascades won't work at all, and Arianne is very slow. I'm thinking this is a driver problem. I'm using the drivers I downloaded from the Gateway website. I get 7001 in 3DMark '06 and 10187 in "05. All my other games eeem to work well. Also, the Gateway drivers changed the Graphics card ID on Vista Welcome Center from 8800 GT to 8800 GTS.

    Anyone else trying the Gateway drivers?

    My stock driver didn't support DX10, updated to 169.09 and everything works great.
