685211 2008-07-04 08:45:00 Mine works fine, have done some extensive tests, disabled Powermizer (to force the gpu/memory to run at 'full' speeds full time) on purpose to check temps & fps @ stock clocks and it's all fine, mines a DDR2 8400M GS (256mb) in a HP notebook. Running Vista SP1 with latest drivers (177.41 now), noticed nothing dodgy at all, ran grid at 1280x800 (particles/wind/smoke/driver/crowd/skid marks off though :P) for about 6 hours and temps at 70 degrees after that, so that's actually very acceptable for something with crap ventilation. At least mine's not thermally defective, or maybe I got a lucky one, who knows, it's not a very popular card because of it's lackluster performance anyhow. Deathwish (143)
