    OK, I'm back again getting ready to reformat my XP Pro install and put on Vista Home Premium.

    Any pointers? ExtremeG drivers for Vista version? Any better hosting providers for the d/l's??? Both Sager and Clevo are giving me 6-10 KB/sec.... It will be a month getting all of them!

    TIA

    Thanks Gophn!

    I searched before posting, then searched more afterwards and found where you posted Eurocom and Prostar for another 5760 owner back in early April this year. I d/l all of the drivers from both sites to compare versions like that user was doing so I can install the most recent releases.

    Only other question is if anyone else has had any experience with the XtremeG drivers and what release is stable under Vista... Going to be using for LAN parties and mostly Steam games, SWAT4, Halo, other FPS's, etc. I'd like to think it would run Bioshock, Orange Box, Crysis, etc., but if it can't, I've got an SLI 8800GTX setup for them.

    FYI, on Clevo's D/L site, they have two links for each download - either ftp.clevo.com.tw or ftps.clevo.com.tw. I was getting 6-10KB/sec from the FTP site, but I got the rest of the files from the FTP2 site at 230-250 KB/sec. Still not all that great, but a big improvement...

    [EDIT]
    I meant SFTP, not FTPS above.

    I had bad experiences from the XtremeG drivers for vista. They were fine for around a week but then I started getting artifacts etc...

    I've been using 158.45 from laptopvided2go and they have been stable so far.
