Great news!!
Seems strange that, the driver improves performance for even old games like UT3.

@Risco,
I am right now using Monitor Calibration Wizard to prevent the calibrated .icc profile from unloading.Thanks!!
Edit: After going back and reading your previous posts, I see that CCC(Desktop and Display) properties apparently works better.

Also what are your current settings in CCC, if I may ask?(Still Hue:0,Sat:0,B:-5,Contrast:92 ?)

I will probably be trying to create a calibrated .icm profile using some good color calibration tool.(Self Eye-calibrated profiles won't work for me, my eyes are used to poor displays, I guess :O )

(PS: The other method, mentioned in the link I provided in the previous page, doesn't work in some cases, I think)

I use 80 contrast, everything else default.

On a annoying note, seems I have a faulty Intel 6200 on my hands. It has horrible reception, drops a bar randomly while in the same room as does not connect at 300mbps with a Netgear 3700.

Risco, i got almost the same issue here but with a different Card Intel WiMAX 5150... bought from eBay...
The original Wireless card that came with the N61, had better signal reception and more stable speed when connected at 150Mbps.

Well that is interesting, so even we both have a faulty card or there is an issue with compatibility?

Anyone care to input?

I then came across desktop and displays. Through this section of CCC I am directly able adjust the contrast of the LCD, and it does not unload in games. The LCD is out the box comes with a way over blown contrast setting, this is what gives it blue tint.

I use 80 contrast, everything else default.

I tried going to desktop and display, then clicking configure(under the small monitor icon), but there, in avivo settings, only hue and saturation can be set.

Pardon my Ignorace, but where do you set Contrast and Brightness(I see that option only in Display properties)?

Sorry to hear that

You've got a bit of digging to do if you want to get to the battery: link to service manual.

Thanks a lot for that Stevedogg! It will help, great find! I tried to google for a manual like that but wasn't succesful. Is there a manual for the motherboard to locate the BIOS chip or if I'm really lucky a CMOS reset jumper or something?

Well I think I might just stay with the stock wireless card as it seems to work so well. Risco did I see you post the other day that your router does not support 5ghz? If so then why did you upgrade your card? If your router does not support 5ghz maybe you should return your faulty card and go back to the stock one.

I have just received mine and this evening I hope to install it and I'll let you have my feedback.

BTW I just have to pull out the antenna cables right, no twisting or turning??
