Dell Tech Support tells me they don't know of any such problem with the video drivers supplied on Dell Downloads. The "Performance Information and Tools" control panel also shows a significant drop in measured performance with the newer drivers. My month old Studio 1537 experiences intermittent but frequent graphics corruption while using Direct3D graphics when using any of four video/graphic Intel GMA driver updates that are newer than the original driver that came with the computer. I describe below a test you can do on your Studio 1537. Please, I want to know if other Studio 1537's with integrated Intel GMA 4500MHD graphics exhibit the problem mine does - is this a software/driver problem or do I have a hardware malfunction.
This defect affects many brands and models of computers with the Intel GM45/GS45 Express Chipset. Dell has been providing BIOS updates for some notebook models, and memory upgrades for others.

Workaround: Have same size memory in both slots (upgrade from 3GB to 4GB total), or only one memory slot used (downgrade from 3GB to 2GB), or disable Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-d) which some models of computer have BIOS setting for, and others require a BIOS update to accomplish. Resolved: Intel admits flaw in Graphics Memory Controller Hub (see item 10 on page 14 of ).
