    Which version?

    If you're downloading the one off of LaptopVideo2Go, make sure you also download the modified .INF.

    I think the Dox version has support for all the cards.

    does the Dox one overclock your card a lot? i have the 8600m GT and i want it i just dont wanna make the card possibly overheat, its been fine so far on games with heating i just dont wanna jynx it, even tho i have a 3 year warranty for it lol

    Also, are you running 64bit vista? cuz, I don't think DoX drivers support it.
