9800 gt and 8600gts living in harmony
It's my understanding it is possible to use two different geforce 8x or better cards. The better card would render graphics while the secondary would handle physics. Have any of you set this up before?

What is the difference between this and buying a PPU? Unless maybe you already had the second GPU just sitting around doing nothing.

Nothing, actually. You hit the nail on the head. If you had a compatible card just laying around, it would be perfect to use for physics.
