Work recently issued me an HP 8510w which is a core 2 duo at either 2 or
2.2GHz with an Nvidia Quadro 570M 256MB. No problems here after installing
the proprietary Nvidia drivers (I used the dkms package from freshrpms, but
there are other ways to get it). Everything works, even the wireless with
the native driver after cutting the firmware to the right location.
