    I'm not sure how long long it will take to get to you, depends on the mode od delivery and reseller. The best drivers that i have found are Dox's 180.44, they perform well and also have a texture tweak for image quality.

    dox's 180.44

    Make sure you head over to laptopvide2go.com for instructions for driver installations to make sure they are done correctly. I believe DOX's installs a bit differently, at least for a driver release I was reading about. Congratulations on your purchase and godspeed in Iraq.

    the notebook cooler that most owners of high-end 17" gaming notebooks is the:
    - Zalman ZM-NC2000

    ... a few have the:
    - NZXT Cryo LX

    I have tested both, but decided on the Zalman since it does its job well, and is not as bulky as the Cryo LX.

    been using the OEM one that came with it from Xotic PC and it works good, just keep the back area clear as covering those for a short time will make it very hot very quickly
