    My Sager 2090 is coming in sometime this week without an OS. I plan on dual-booting XP and Vista.

    Does anyone have a good up-to-date list of the best drivers to use to install for this laptop? Reading around, it seems that different drivers produce different problems - particularly the graphics driver.

    In the meantime, I've downloaded all of the drivers from Sager's website, but from reading around the forums, my assumption is that some of those drivers cause problems?

    Sorry for the delayed response, (test week in school); but yea, they work really well, but the ones on the CD are fine too. As for the smart charge and usb buttons you'll need to use the installer in the 64 bit folder.

    What about the video drivers? Did you just use the ones on the CD or on the ftp? There seems to be tons of options for video drivers since its not supported directly by nvidia and everyone seems to have different results from all the different versions. Even looking at laptopvideo2go.com I have no clue which drivers to try...

    What was your Vista score?

    For video drivers, you may want to use the laptopvideo2go.com drivers, since notebook manufacturers NEVER releaes updates fast enough. Laptopvideo2go.com is still my personal favorite for notebook support of the bleeding-edge NVidia drivers.

    The site isn't nearly as pretty as Sager's site, but Bizcom's driver download page for the (I)FL90 has the very latest drivers and BIOS updates for the notebook:
