    Just got my x205-5359.
    I am looking to use the v163.44 Vista 32bit driver from laptopvideo2go.com.
    I've been reading some comments people left and a lot of them are saying that this driver lets them play BioShock and other games, but after install these drivers, they cannot play HDDVD player. Is that true?

    Is v163.44 the driver to use or are there any newer ones for x205? I am also seeing v165.01 vista 32bit or v163.69 drivers on the site. Which one should I use?

    Also, I've read other posts that some games won't run on the x205-5359 b/c the monitor frequency is 59Hz and some of these games requires 60Hz and there is no way to change that unless using an external monitor?

    Yes, what is this 59Hz vs 60Hz issue?

    Haven't heard about the 59Hz issue.

    Haven't seen 165.01 drivers either...

    Haven't got any HD-DVD's yet so can't answer that one.

    Maybe quote / link the comments on drivers and refresh rates and we can investigate...
