    Great sum up Katmai, +rep

    One thing: did he re-activate Optimus after installing the drivers or does it need to stay off ?

    Wow, actually a bios to support new card?

    That's sound ridiculously unbelievable.

    I assume they no longer want to replace fire pro card with expensive quadros so they give the m6100 for failed m 8900.
