Hello DH friends all over the world,

I'm a PC enthusiast and I've always loved DH.net bacause of all of the cool stuff you can learn about computer technology and also because of the great (free) software that I've found here that has been allowing me to stay up to date with the latest ATi driver releases (the DH ATi Mobility Modder) for my ASUS A8JP(ATi Mobility Radeon x1700) for over 2 years now. It's a super great tool that I'm sure helps millions all over the world as you read this. That's simply awesome.

I just recently bought a very inexpensive laptop ($350+tax), the Acer Aspire 4530 at my local Micro Center store.

It has a built in GPU, the Geforce 9100M G that supposedly has PhysX support.

I installed the official driver 179.48 and also PhysX 9.09.0203. PhysX seems to work, very slow increase in performance, but actually seems improve something when tested with the nVidia PhysX Fluids Demo (by turning HardWare PhysX ON and OFF in the demo and by watching the CPU load difference).
Although PhysX seems to work on this 9100M G chip, I've found no way to enable or disable PhysX under Nvidia's Control Panel (option that is found under my GTX 260's menu on my desktop PC).

Anyway, PhysX glitch aside,

I'd like to be able to mod the latest nVidia's drivers for my notebook computer (9100M G GPU) by using the DH nVidia Mobility Modder tool.

I hope someone out there can help me with this project or teach me how to make the necessary mods myself successfully.

Thank you and I hope there's someone out there that could help me get this done!

God bless you all,

Thiago
