    I just got an email that my 9262 is suppose to get here next week. Here is the config stuff

    Sager NP9262
    17" WUXGA (1920x1200) "Super Clear Glossy" Widescreen
    nVIDIA GeForce 8800M GTX w/512MB (Shipping late December)

    Built-in Bluetooth Wireless

    Standard Carrying Case

    Nothing really special there.

    But I know at least one has already been delivered to some one who started another thread; unless he is spoofing but I doubt that.

    In any case I am hoping to get some hints on how to set it up. First off I noticed this blurb in one thread

    using the 169.28 with modded inf on laptopvideo2go

    and in the same thread there was another blurb about a 59hz refresh rate as opposed to 60hz.

    So I guess the first thing I need to do is check the refresh rate and hope it is 60hz.

    Then check out the driver situation and figure out if and how other stuff needs to be changed.

    What I am hoping for is that some of you guys that already have their new toys can help me with hints on what to do first.

    My only experience in this area is when I got an 8800 Sager around five years ago. I just downloaded a few video drivers for D2 and some DirectX stuff and went about my merry way.

    How much more will I need to do with this bad boy? :confused:

    Thanks in advance.
