    I'm not quite sure whether all recent drivers on laptopvideo2go.com have CUDA support or not. I'm currently running Dox Optimized 181.20 and have been quite happy with them. But I'd like to run Folding@Home with CUDA, and I'm not sure whether those drivers support them. To be safe I'm downloading 181.20 from nVIDIA's CUDA site, but I'm not sure they'll install on my laptop - never downloaded a laptop driver from nVIDIA before. I could also go with 174.31 from Dell that I know will run, or another LTV2Go one. But there don't seem to be any hard-and-fast guides on whether all recent drivers work, or if you need the specific CUDA ones from nVIDIA. Any advice?

    OS is XP Home 32-bit.

    They will install on your laptop fine. I think CUDA started working at the 177.xx drivers. Anything over that will be compatible with CUDA even the LV2G ones.

    Okay, thanks, I'll go ahead and test it on Dox 181.20.
