    Downloaded but waiting a while. The Omegas have been stable for me for a while.

    Thanks for direct link. I downloaded their Instalation Verification Software and it said I could not download driver.

    Just follow the link in the original post. The verification doesn't work because Asus isn't a notebook manufacturers stated on that webpage. The OP's link bypasses the verification.'

    Edit: to anyone that decides to use the 7.1 drivers, let us know if they improve performance.

    There's still no mention of the X1700 in their driver page. I'll try the drivers on my F3Jp anyway and see what happens (if it can detect the card correctly).

    Cool, going to download and install and see if there are any noticable performance gains.

    Praise the gods, 7.1 actually works with the W3J without having to disable PowerPlay!!! No more infinite rebooting problem!

    Hmm no reboot + 4078 in 05 @ stock (vs 4180 with 6.8). I will stay with them, 6.8 are almost half year old so I think it's time to update.
