    Anyone using third-party drivers? I haven't really started to look around yet, but I was just wondering if anyone has a good set of drivers they prefer. Something better than the standard, not necessarily overclocking to the max...

    I don't really see what the point is. Intel integrated graphics is integrated graphics no matter what you do to it. Any performance gains would be negligible, if there are any at all, and at the cost of stablity/reliability. I'd just stick to the stock Intel drivers if I were you.

    I agree - this would really not be worth it with integrated graphics.

    I'm not sure...you'd be surprised how crappy some integrated drivers can be. I don't blame manufacturers...why try to push the technology? I had a laptop a few years ago with integrated and with a simple install of the old Omega Drivers, BAM! It was a night / day difference. There's got to be some tweaked drivers out for the x200, regardless of if it's an integrated chipset or not.
