Well, my lappy has a GeForce 9800M GS and i would have thought that was a cuda card
is there a driver i can use to make it work as a cuda device?
my desktop has a 9500gt and that needs a new lovely dell propriatary power supply so i am left with this.

is there a way?

or am I S.O.L.?

Probably just needs a driver update as mentioned above. You can download the latest driver direct from nVidia here.
Be warned, running BOINC on your CPU and GPU on a laptop is fairly intensive and will generate a lot of heat. To prevent damage I would strongly recommend you have the laptop on a fan cooler when it is crunching. Also it has been discussed before that laptop hard drives are not designed to be written to constantly which is another cause for concern as they wear our easier than desktop ones. If you notice any change in performance I would stop immediantely and check to make sure everything is running as it should be.

well, i'm updating the driver now.
under the graphics card it doesnt show one.
and when it starts up it says "No cuda devices found"
i'll post again when I've updated it

Success!!
