    It took almost all day but dayyyyyyyyyammmm was it worth it. This thing is blazingly fast. I got almost all of the drivers from the FTP site and laptopvideo2go.com.

    This was a huge PITA but I just wanted to let anyone know if they have any questions post them here or PM me.

    eta: and the best part is that Powermizer works on the Nvidia card now. It clocks in at 168/100 when no 3d stuff is running.
