Forgive me for stating the obvious but one thing for new users that you might want to add to your FAQ is which drivers do I need to install. I'm not a developer so do I need to download the developer drivers for Cuda because I see two files that for different OS, the "driver" which all say "for developer" and the other is the cuda toolkit. Do I need to install both, do I need to install one before the other? The NVidia site is really unhelpful in this regard as to who needs what and I have purchased a license from you guys but have no idea what to do at this point and I'd rather not have to install a 200 meg developer driver if I don't have to my registry in XP is already full of junk and don't want it slowing down my system if I don't need to.

For xp only the driver. Have a look to the readme file.

Hi,

We recommend the drivers in the accompanying readme.txt (release notes).
They are also linked on our downloads page.

this is per release so we don't think the faq is the right place.
