Yes, you can do that. The only thing you can't do is run them in SLi.

Yes. But 8800GT would be a bit overkill for Physx. But yes, you can do it.

I do not think you can have the same model card for dedicated physx and for your main display. it has to be something different like an 8600.

off topic: welcome to OCN! you will like it here, but first thing first go to user cp> add system and fill out your system specs. :-)

If you run games with physx then yes id say. Better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it.
