    Hey just got my new g71 from best buy and already updated the BIOS to the 1201. Ive been reading through the forums and saw a couple of people are using the DOX 185.85 driver. I know this is a noobish question, but how exactly do you go about doing this? (preferably step by step) I never really did much changing of drivers and whatnot since im coming off a mac. Thanks for any advice

    Drive sweeper is highly recommended, so you should do it yeap.. Now about the physx driver, Im only using the latest one ( http://forum.notebookreview.com/showpost.php?p=5201031&postcount=1 )... But Im not sure why DOX says you need to install both, since he is the one that programmed the driver and knows what hes doing, I think you should install both like in the Forge tutorial to be on safe side...
