    Hey,

    Does anyone play second life and are having problems with it?
    I can't get it to run on the nvidia card at all - It has definitely been white listed. It runs on the other card but I can't even put it on medium settings without my fps being terrible.

    I use the phoenix / firestorm viewers by the way.

    I have read elsewhere that others are having the same problem on the 555m. Just wondering if it's the same story here and if anyone has already solved this problem?

    Thanks in advance :)

    Does it lag on the default Linden viewer? On other computers Ive had with optimus only Imprudence and the default viewer seem to be supported. Could be different for the m14x though.
