    Is this compatible with my W110ER? At the GeForce site it keeps saying no drivers exist for the 650m,or that it can not be found. It should still work anyway, right?

    Has anyone tried these? Feedback?

    I have a 580M and are currently using 290.36, wondering if I should update or not.

    My only initial thoughts are you need to do a CLEAN install...remove old drivers --> Reboot in Safe mode/Drive Sweeper --> Install new drivers. I say this because I've tried it both ways (Clean install vs. nvidia "clean" install) and I had crashes when i tried the nvidia method. I haven't had a crash since I did it the other way. However, I feel it is too soon to tell and my theory needs more testing.

    For Fermi Users: Be careful. There have been some crashes, so you might not want to update your drivers to this version.
