    I just re registered because I could not find my old post or account info (may not even have been posted due to the internet I have from where I am), so please excuse me if this is a repost.

    I'm looking for people who have a similar setup, to give me insight on the issues I seem to be having.

    Received the 20 inch 5960 in August 07 with following:
    T60 AMD DC CPU
    2 X 7950 512MB GTX (1GB total) at 1650X1028 resolution
    2 GB RAM
    built in TV tuner

    I am currently using the drivers, which came with the laptop (will be using the laptop2go drivers and modified INF soon).

    Current issues:

    -Laptop battery will not charge at all, and this happened within the first month. Sent RMA back to Sager and they said no issues with battery, probable issue with internal charger. Will need to send entire laptop back, which will take 3 months minimum before I see it again.

    -Medium to high gaming performance. I do believe this will be directly related to my drivers, but I would expect top performance for just about any game out there. My ARMA benchmark is dismally lower (from 12000 to 14000) than even some of the slowest 6X cards. Some games like Bioshock play wonderfully at max settings. Crysis plays well at Medium settings, but will overheat from time to time. Can anyone with same configuration play it at high settings?

    -DVD-ROM will sometimes not even recognize a CD/DVD. Have to completely remove it from chassis to get it to recognize again. Will also occasionally make some very loud spinning sounds
