    I have a nVidia 8600GTS 256MB will this work for you. I do not think it will do more than 2,400ppd though.

    GT 240 cards require no external power and are available in low profile varieties for short HTPC cases. They produce about 5500ppd and are relatively inexpensive.

    Did you ever get that to Fold? I've never heard of someone being successful with the 8600GTS.

    Yes it does fold. Good for 1,400 - 2,400ppd. Not worth the power for me though.

    Yes I can attest to that. You have to run the fan all out on them as soon as the card gets slightly warm. It poops itself. I think that is the technical term.

    Guess they don't have that card anymore. They sent a 250 GTS which is a tad better but don;t think I can use it as a dedicated physx card. Also, don't have the mobo for two cards atm.

    some of those are a rebranded 9800 gtx. the specs for both cards are the same. the difference i guess is whether they use the g92a or the g92b cause the pics i've seen they look the same. kinda like when they turned the 8800gs into the 9600gso.
