Im not sure if its possible or not but I have a 285GTX as my main card, and I have a spare 9600gt sitting in my drawer, could I use the 9600gt as a dedicated physx card? If so how do you go about it?

If you have a second PCI-e slot running at atleast 4x, 8x better, then yeah chuck it in and you can use it for dedicated physx processing... tho not sure if you can do that on vista, deff. works on XP or Win 7.

And soon it'll be doing nothing, but using power and costing you electricity :p

There's not a single game a GTX285 can't handle the physx on, adding a 9600 will give you a few extra fps in a few games, whilst using power, generating heat, and adding to your leccy bill :)
