Laptop users of a Dell XPS M1730, Dell XPS M1710 or Alienware Area-51 m9750 no longer have to wait for video drivers from their manufacturer, but can go directly to Nvidia. Early this month, the development team released a new Forceware M/Go driver set with 175.32 whql as the version designation. Unlike the Geforce video card drivers, this release will continue to be called Forceware. The corresponding list of changes includes the added support of the Geforce 8800M GTS/GTX SLI GPUs and therefore looks like this:
