    Is anybody who is running XP Pro able to enable SLi on their NP9262s? I've tried different drivers and installed the drivers one by one and I can't enable SLi. I can enable Physx processing, but I want/need SLi. If anyone else has managed to do it, please let me know how you managed to do this. Thanks.

    which drivers are you using.... because LV2Go 180... driver does not support SLI yet.

    so you should look towards a stock Clevo driver.

    I'm using 181. I tried the stock drivers and they wouldn't install. Are there any drivers for XP that will enable SLi?

    Yeah I have actually, for some odd reason, they won't install. I've tried to force install them using device manager but still no luck.

    Ok I just tried the latest beta drivers from nvidia and I'm able to enable SLi now. When I tried this before, it didn't work, but all seems well now. Now to run some tests! Thanks!

    Check your event logs from the earlier attempts to see if anything informative got logged about the failure of those earlier attempts.

    Oh Sorry about that, here are the numbers:

    Vista 64 SLi
    PCMark05: 7260
    3DMark06: 14163

    XP Pro 64 non-SLi
    PCMark05: 7823
    3DMark06: 9707

    XP Pro 32 SLi
    PCMark05: 8331
    3DMark06: 15150

    I'm surprised at the 15,000+ score, this is with NO OVERCLOCKING! Very pleased!

    wouldnt matter much.

    I cant seem to break 5k with my notebook.

    I havent tried to OC anymore... no need.

    getting over 4k is good enough for a 3 year-old rig.

    still beats out the 9600M systems. :D

    man, i hear ya!
    ok, in your case...then we wait a few more weeks or so when they add the 7800's to the nvidia notebook over clocking database. that way it's just move a slider a tad bit to the right and presto. 5k...lol
