    I tested it.

    I pulled 2 hours easily, watching some high-def footage, listening to music via bluetooth, and web browsing while attempting to drain the battery. I switched to power saver @ 97% battery. I plugged it back in at 11%, and it had been 1h 57m. And this is with my power hungry processor, but it downclocks to 1.6 something Ghz when unplugged and on power saving mode.

    Hey Kevin_Jack2.0,

    Can you tell me which drivers you are using for your M860TU with Windows 7 x64? I did a format and clean install on my NP8660 and installed all Vista x64 drivers (except for nVdia, which I used Laptop2Go ones) - I got constant BSoD... I tried to figure it out for 1 whole week and finally gave up and went back to Vista...

    Thanks!

    Do you mean the ridiculous wireless network latency spikes (which apparently seem to be a feature of Vista), or not being able to connect to a new network?

    I've heard serveal places that SLi/Crossfire is not supported on Windows 7 and will cause many games to crash. Does anyone have any comments on this?
