    So there's an update for the Geforce on the Sony Update website...

    but it says Geforce 7200...

    I know that the SZ has a 7400.

    What gives ? Should I install it anyway ? I'm clearly in the "SZ160P" section of the support website.

    Cannot install it on the SZ90. Has anyone seen a SZ90 version of this?

    Same goes for the wireless patch as well.

    I'm using the laptopvideo2go drivers as well, with great results. Prophet - what version drivers are you using? I installed my drivers a month or two ago - should I bother checking for new ones?

    The Sony Japan site lists the 7400, not the 7200. The US installer will not work on the Japanese machine. I put the 8.4.0.5 (84.05) Sony-based driver on my machine last night and it works just fine.
