Just wanted to pass on a huge thanks for this thread.

I used KernelCheck to save a little bit of time, plus the optimization tips found on the original message.. wow. Definitely notice a nice performance improvement, and I even managed to not trash my system. Compiled and rebooted. Used Envy to build the nVidia drivers and rebooted again. Took a little while in compile time, but it was definitely worth it.

Thanks
