Very cool; I'm planning to order a new tablet soon with the X3100 and I'll be waiting for the Vista version.

If anyone has an X3100-equipped laptop and is running XP, we'd love to hear what kind of performance improvements you get with these drivers.

I hope it does improve game performance quite a bit. I would try it myself, but I am afraid of messing something up since these are pre-beta drivers and not the final version.

If anyone can report if it is stable and improves performance in any way, especially in games such as Counter Strike Source, I too will try it myself.

Hmm. VS2.x so that brings it up to DirectX 9.0b support. I wonder if they've added vertex shaders, but forgot HW T&L, which would be kind of funny, but I guess support is kind of implied since DX9 is backwards compatible with DX7.

Does this support a full list of hardware support, or is there still some of it done via software because its a beta?
