Default Physics Accelerator

Hey i was wondering, is there a way for if i bought an 8800 GT, and then used that for video processing, to take my 8600, stop it from video processing, and just have it deal with the physics? Because then technically id have a stronger physics card than you can buy standard from a store right now with the max memory being 128 mb.

Really you're just wanting the same thing as an AEGIA physX card, and they are a waste of money. High end graphics cards can handle more than enough physics calculations on their own - maybe with the exception of crysis

Don't know if it'll work as the OP intends, but give this a look:

Soon you may be able to since nVidia bought ageia, but they haven't released anything as of yet. It's worth hanging onto your card to see, any 8800 card is supposed to work.
