    Actually, a week old, but thought someone may have missed them.
    Based on catalyst 6.3, running stable on my computer with and without battery. Got 160 more 3dmarks (05) than with the old ones (2402 -> 2562 ). You might want to uninstall anything GPU related earlier just to stay on the safe side.

    Anyone know about this BIOS 2.60 update? I thought 2.50 was the latest BIOS update the for the 1029 notebooks?

    It's too bad MSI doesn't update its drivers often.

    I'm using the standard 6.3 desktop drivers from ATI cause im running XP x64. I used the mobility tool converter from Driver heaven and it works great on the 1029.

    The tool and instructions for anyone using/wanting a decent set of X64 drivers is here:

    The only thing he has got wrong is that if you get the error about the RICHTX32.OCX file missing (which i did) then you need to put it in the WOW64 (or something like that) folder, not the system32 as he says. This is the folder that XP64 uses for 32 bit applications...
