I might be wrong but I haven't seen the guide for this according to the OP that's only for Windows XP/7.

I quoted the person who said it works like that, but it is actually not done like that, it is very complicated and I would advise to install Windows 7 and do it because it is a lot easier and heck of a lot more stable.

Dam this is taking me a long time. I didn't fully understand how you made PhysX be enabled when you enable the ATI card. I tried running the PhysX benching tool w/o my ati card enable and i got 2362 marks. this is wiht my 8800 GT and it says hardware PhysX. Then i enable my 4870 and the marks go down to 1213. What gives?

Ok so if you did everything else right, what you should do now is have two monitors hooked up, main to ATI and spare to NVIDIA then make the NVIDIA the only display by going into the Screen Resolution tap and saying disconnect the main display and make the NVIDIA the main display, then once NVIDIA is the main you go to the NVIDIA properties and enable PhysX then while you keep the Control Panel open make the reverse so that ATI is main and NVIDIA is spare. Then your done you have to keep the control panel open in some cases but in my case I don't need to, so if you close it and it stops working then you know to keep it open.

Let me know if that was a bit too complicated and I'll make it point form step by step.

Understand all of it except disconnecting the monitor. Where is exact is this option? I usually go into the Screen Resolution Window and under multiple displays i pick the option that shows desktop only on the nvidia monitor. So just that one step. I bet it something so easy.

EDIT: heres a pic of what im talking about

I think you may have missed something because the second monitor should be enabled and working when you boot up. Or I think you changed something and then took the Screenie because it says you must apply, so what you do is click on monitor "2" and after from the drop down menu select "Extend my desktop" then click apply and then tick the checkbox that says make this my main monitor. After that you click on the left monitor "1" and select from the drop down menu "Disconnect this display". Once you enable PhysX from the Nvidia Control panel keep it open and then go to this same menu and click on the first monitor then say "Extend my desktop" and then after applying click on the "Make this my main display".

Wheew that was a lot of writing.

EDIT: I re-read your post and I'm kinda lost, let me know if what I said made sense lol.
