    So ive been browsing around but haven’t found any solid leads on this subject. I might just be blind so i apologize if this is a repost.

    I have a brand new NP9280 sitting on my desk right now and im wondering what people suggest to install on it to get it up to speed. Suggestions on the best drivers and a good backup utility would be very helpful, but post other software if you think its worth it. I have the i7 975 chip, and the 280M card.
