If you get the combined AK_V8 and Optimised Astropulse Package from here:

Win32_AK_AP_SSE3.7z

and these files:

setiathome_6.08_windows_intelx86__cuda.exe

libfftw3f-3-1-1a_upx.dll

cudart.dll

cufft.dll

Shut down Boinc, and drop the 4 Cuda files from above, and the two Astropulse apps from the package into your setiathome folder,

with this app_info.xml:

You don't need any of the AK_V8 files, and the app_info has 603 entries, so any CPU Multibeam work will continue on the GPU.

Thanx gonna fix this in the morning :D

RottenMutt:
I am using 180+ drivers from http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/ on my HP laptop (dual core 2.0GHz with 9600M-512MB ddr2).  I'm running 6.6.17 client, Raistmer's V10 optimized package along with an edited MarkJ's app_info file with Raistmer's apps.  see http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=52589.
I've also oc'd my video card from 500MHz to 600MHz.  so far stable, temps are around 60C on gpu and 45C on cpu with a room temp around 70F.

bronan:
Well i am gonna try both.
But to see a cuda app taking almost 6 hours to finish is not really rewarding , seti rewards on the fastest calculation.
Sadly there is no project which i can run which is usefull with this lappy.
The 8600 is much faster then my v.c. its only 399 mhz and can't be overclocked.
Second the h4cked nvidia drivers needs as stated a higher model number which supports cuda 1.3 and i think mine only supports 1.1 as far as i can find.
Still i can't complain about it with 500 GB disk space,4 Gb ram memory and able to play most games i think its still a good lappy ;)
Just hoping to find the right optimized combo to get it to run a bit faster, on some projects.
On MW@home i can run the SSE3 optimized toys very well just with seti i seem not to get it running smooth.

Claggy:
Nvidia has released Beta 185.81 drivers for Notebooks,
so anyone who couldn't run Raistmer's app's, now can run them.
