    You do not have to mod ATI drivers to install on Clevo/Sager notebooks. ATI issues a separate line of Mobility drivers specifically for its mobile cards which install and operate quite well.

    I have a question about heat concerns with this laptop. I've heard the video card creates a lot of heat. Is the cooling system on the 8850 enough to compensate? I have a 3 year old Sager and a pretty nice notebook cooler but the heat buildup seems to be having a huge effect on performance. Especially when I'm playing TF2.
