    I currently run Vista 64 bit and up until yesterday it was flawless. Now I;m all of a sudden having Video shuttering issues and Direct X Errors. After messing with it for a few hours I'm just considering reformating. I play a TON of games on this thing so gaming is a BIG priority.

    How is gaming under XP with 8800m SLi?

    I love this laptop, and I like Vista, I'm just tired of constanly having to tweak it to get it to work.

    Thanks

    Tweaking it in what way? And what games have you had to tweak it for?

    I ask, because I've never had to do any tweaking to get the games I play (admittedly - primarily FPS and driving games only) running smoothly on my M1730 running Vista?
