    Hello,

    I would like to buy the Z21 without PMD.
    Is it possible to install standard intel drivers for the Intel HD3000?
    If not, does the Open GL Problem still exists with the intel driver from Sony?
    I have found out that there is a driver on the sony website (Version: 8.15.10.2353) from 20 Oct 2011.
    But is it a customized one or is it just the standard Version from intel?

    Thx for helping.

    Yes, you can install the standard intel driver from the website without any problem when using your z21 without the PMD.

    The Open GL problems in the newer driver was fixed by sony :)
