Boxing includes the time it takes for the notebook to get shipped from the processing plant in Maylasia to the Dell shipping center in the US.

Hmm.. the glitches don't occur while using the Dell Signed Drivers. They've only occured while using the modded Catalyst 3.10 drivers. Later, I'll be testing the signed drivers some more to see if the glitches occur at all on them.
