    Has anyone tried these yet? They're on laptopvideo2go ( Vista 32-bit, Vista 64-bit), but they appear to be made by Compal, WHQL certified and most likely support my JFL92 without a modded inf (at least the DEV_ID seems to match). I'm a big believer in "If it ain't broken, don't fix it" and unless I hear that they offer increases in performance and/or decreases in temperature, I'm probably going to stick with 167.59 until Windows Update makes me switch, but it's nice to know Compal hasn't forgotten us.

    Definitely getting slightly better frame rates but slightly hotter too. I'll stick with it and see how it goes.
