Hopefully you guys can get your problems resolved. It is pretty frustrating how NVIDIA isn’t the one who provides the drivers directly for the notebooks though.

I own a dell m1330 and experiencing some difficulties. When I am running a 3D app and unplug my laptop, fps drops from 60s to 20s. I always thought it was some kind of problem related to Dell but now it made more sense. Unplugging affects cooling systems, cooling systems affects my GPU. the problem ends when I reboot though. Well i will get my motherboard changed now

I’m pretty sure the GeForce Go6100 is in there too. I have an Acer notebook running one of those, and without fail, every time I start up I get a “Nvidia display driver has stopped working, but Vista, being the amazing Micro$oft OS that it is, has recovered for you”. The really sucky thing about NVidia is that if you bought a notebook, you have to get the driver update from the notebook manufacturer “because of configuration differences with the chipsets”. So I’m still waiting for Acer / Nvidia to provide me with a Vista driver update 15 months after buying the computer…
