Of course, in the case of my Dragon, upgrading the 8800M is not even possible. So I am stuck with using a pre-200 version (197 or 198 I think) with that computer. There is a workaround to use newer drivers, but if I recall correctly, that involves disabling the automatic speed-adjustment of the fans so you have to leave them constantly on medium or high speed. Fortunately I replaced my entire computer lately and relegated that to (oversized) laptop status.
