I REALLY hope the 210W PSU solves the problem but I have my doubts at this point. It seems it will either take a bios update to remedy it or even a motherboard revision. It would be nice if other M15x users stepped up and did some testing. I see so many people complaining about ridiculous things like stuttering sound or bad customer service yet they don't seem concerned enough to test their systems for throttling--which completely defeats the purpose of this laptop!

The only good news is that I don't think many real world scenarios will arise that causes throttling... (even though my G60 does not throttle with everything thrown at it, I would never run something that puts my Chipset to 90C, my computer would be dead in short time).
Here is one more test that might be helpful:
3DMark06
3DmarkVantage
Crysis Benchmark (or similar).
Crank every setting you can and log the GPU-Z screen shots and see what happens.
