W0ot!!!! as for one who got to experiment early i can tell you guys that the latest forcewares after 171 have been working better and better for this card.

definitely increases fan speeds way earlier than previous drivers.

they dont work for me....gives me a stop code and tells me to check if i have another version of the installer running or something....and that i should reboot and try again...

you need to use a modified inf from laptopvideo2go.com, it supports all current nvidia cards with the inf including mobile chips.
