SLI, in a laptop, seems great -- but I am regretting getting SLI and not getting a single card that was slightly more powerful (but less than SLI). SLI has caused nothing but nightmares with frame sync issues / stutter, required flashing bios, etc. My 2¢ for what it's worth.

Took everyone here up on the 7260 suggestion.... only ~$35 USD off Amazon. Here's hoping this will fix an otherwise stellar gaming laptop.

Research from T|I and other sites seems to show replacing the 2230n is the best/only real solution. I was between Bigfoot KillerN 1202 and Intel 7260... went with the 7260. Will post back with results on the 7260 after flashing the mod from the other sticky'd thread.

Fingers crossed on this one. I just ordered a new 7260 replacement card for the junk 2230N. Spent all of yesterday afternoon trying to fix a problem I am having where video stutters when wifi is on. i.e. I am playing something on Netflix, and it sounds robotic/choppy -- disabling the integrated wireless fixes this. On Win7 x64. Tried various versions of the wireless driver/Intel ProSET... video adapter (since it has a driver)... RealTek drivers... etc. with zero success. No duplicate IRQs, etc. Very frustrating, but going to hope replacing the card does it.
