Drivers for Nvidia 660 OEM for X51?

I actually know what needs to be done having already done it many times ;-) but I want these OEM divers so I can figure out how to make any 600 series desktop card work fully with Optimus on the X51 then we will have fully working systems without having to put up with Dell's shoddy download servers.

Optimus for desktop gpus? NVIDIA Synergy never made it.

Did you do a custom install of the driver and perform a clean install or express install?

another problem when you reboot the PC hangs

Where does it hang at?

another problem when you reboot the PC hangs

when i reboot doesnt even boot into windows

You can't do a express install and tick the option for clean install.

did express and ticked the option to clean install

installed the driver seems to work problem is its not digitally signed

Optimus is what we have and we're using desktop cards (even the Dell OEMs) on a desktop mainboard. I remember reading some reviews commenting on how the X51 was the first desktop to implement Optimus.

Dell modify the drivers to activate the Optimus fully but I can't for the life of me figure out how it enables the context menu for "Run with graphics processor.....". Even after playing around with the recent Dell 660 drivers and adding what I thought were the missing bits to the v306 drivers from nVidia, the missing parts still won't install - there's a DLL and some files plus registry entries that need to be added. I can get the registry entries to appear just not the Optimus DLL to install.

I would just leave it alone as optimus technology being used on a desktop is useless.

Guys. This^ is how you do a clean install. The clean install check box on the Nvidia install window only clears your Nvidia settings. It doesnt do a clean install. If you had another version of Nvidia installed then half the drivers and reg settings are still there.
