    275.50 - Beta drivers from Nvidia site.

    Clocks 575 core / 1500 memory via Riva Tuner

    You overclock at your own risk. Just because my chip has no issues does not mean yours wont.

    Also, I would never overclock when doing actual "work" with the machine.

    The 128 minicard solid state drive is very fast. It is within 5% of being as fast at reads as my Intel 80gb SSD and TWICE as fast as the Intel at writes. Really liking it so far. It is a $180 upgrade, but this might be one that is very worth it. Will post CrystalMark screenshots.

    So it 's possible to use drivers other than Dell's? I should be getting my M6600 with the 2920XM/Quadro 4000M/1600 x 900 next week.

    I usually do 3D and it's nice to get these as fast as possible, but as you say to stay stable. I am not sure about OC'ing the Quadros. That wolud be a first. I have a 590GTX and a 580GTX in my main desktop. Usually slight overclocks are okay, but I am still curious about not using Dell drivers. Of course it would be great to game on it while at work if I am not at home.

    Thanks.

    Ok, can you tell me your score on stock settings, if possible?
    Thanks.

    You can use Nvidia Verde drivers for example:

    No problems with them.

    How does this boot OS + separate RAID 0 work?

    Can one also have boot OS + separate RAID 1?

    Would be interesting to see how the 'Dell' 750GB compares to above WD 750GB. Anyone care to post benchmark? Thanks.

    That looks like a Polish or some Eastern Bloc keyboard. An US International Keyboard should only have "Alt Gr" and an Euro symbol in an otherwise standard looking US QWERTY keyboard.
