Got my NP9262 and I have spent the weekend installing Windows, games and updated patches. Just had some time to day to try it out and will say the Video drivers included are TERRIBLE. CoD 4 and Crysis have screen flash problems and lock up issues. I have not tried updating yet at laptopvideo2go.com but just FYI, the drivers are really crappy, either that or I got some of those faulty Nvidia cards.......:( I did however run 3dmark06 on it's default settings and scored a 13,903. At least that's a bright spot, now if only my games would run.

The drivers on the included CD are just to get the system up and running, they are probably several months old and will most definitely need to be updated.

Thanks for the great insights. Just going through these forums finding all sorts of stuff to keep aware of has made me truly feel lucky to be in this quick-info era...I can't imagine how much of a pain it would have been 20 years ago. :cool:

Man getting tron to run was such a bitch back in the day, fire up the old C64 and pray that I did not have to tweak any of the games settings to make it run right.
