What does everyone recommend? I saw a link to ATI Catalyst 3.0 for Direct X 9.0. Is this what everyone uses? It reads like it is for desktop chipsets.

Also, does "Hydravision" come with the laptop? With the potential for three monitors at once I found Hydravision Download from ATI.

Also, what is "Powerdesk." A lot of people mentioned this in several reviews.

Thanks,

Robin

Well, like they said, it depends on your manufacturer. If you got a sager, you might want to check:

Would the 8886 drivers work with a 8887?

Yeah I have the same question, specifically about the M9 w/ 128mb. Can the drivers from s-seven.net be used w/ the 8887?
