how u update? mind post the guide so i can include in the 1st post...

well this is the steps wat i did :

1 - DO NOT UNINSTALL current driver <<--maybe its the reason dat optimus is working after driver update
2 - download lates driver from nvidia.com ---> double click n EXTRACT ,dont isntall YET
3 - go to laptopvideo2go.com forums, n look for da latest official Nvidia driver (eg. 280.26) n download the INF file (will be included in the thread) <---simply click "INF MODIFIED" -->> "nvwi.inf" is the file
4 - copy the "nvwi.inf" file n paste/replace it into C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\280.26\Vista 64-bit\International\Display.Driver
5 - then install the driver by double clicling SETUP.EXE
6 - there shud b no "compatible hardware not found" error message.

*note - for 280.26, u actually do not have to do this but for 275, i had to do it.

just use the instructions for general guide in case there's some1 who face this problem.

if acer released some fix for throttling,i will bought this laptop

but. . . acer does nothing

Anyone know where to get the 3830TG ?

1) Bought this lappy two weeks ago.
2) a) Battery life is great! Around 5 hours used to watch movie.
b) Only problem is...my audio (both speakers and headphone) has some noise while listening to music and watch movies. Tried to re-install the driver but problem still persist. The situation gets worse when the Dolby Home Theater is turned on. Need to bring back to Highpoint for a check...

But seriously, I like this new toy very much!
