Dedicated physx card
Ok, i am using my GTX260 now. Should I use my 9800GT also. Would i see a gain in performance? I have 2 monitors. And would I get a gain in F@H?

Using your 9800GT will definitely improve framerates in the handful of physx enabled games.
You should be able to run a second F@H GPU client to fold on the 9800GT which will add another ~4-5k per day.

I trust you mean sliding it in when the PC is off
Yeah, it should be as simple as putting it in the slot and connecting up a spare PCIe power cable to it (and then installing the drivers which windows will hopefully automatically find/install).
And regarding folding at home with it, depending on the version of windows and driver version installed, you might need to set the desktop as 'extended' on the 8800GT to make sure it's powered up or something. So if it errors when you try and start folding, bear that in mind.
