    However, for those who don't want the complexity of shoeing it in, note NVIDIA release notes ( http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook-win7-winvista-64bit-260.99-whql-driver.html):

    "Notes::

    1. Notebooks supporting Hybrid Power technology with Intel chipsets are not supported by this release.
    2. Sony has joined the Verde program by supporting the following VAIO notebooks: Sony F Series with NVIDIA GeForce 310M and Sony F Series with NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M. Other Sony VAIO notebooks are not supported at this time (please contact Sony for driver support)."

    Which means.. we still have to hurdle around with modded drivers on the Z series.

    Thanks for qualifying that Peter. Weird that the f is supported out of the box but the z isn't.
