You could always fold on it for a little bit of extra PPD. Or use it to run another monitor. Or keep it as a backup or freebie it. The possibilities are endless.
What can I do with my extra graphics card?

Specifically, I was wondering what I could do by putting the card in my current rig. It is a Gigabyte 7600 GT. I don't think the 7 series can do PhysX, but I was wondering what other capabilities or benefits the second card could have.
Could I...

LOL DEATH METAL SMILIES.
Could I...
- Run one (or two) extra monitor(s) for things other than gaming?
- Use it for non-graphical applications? (folding or other?)
- Something else?

Run another monitor.
Freebie it.
Sell it for cash.

Hey guys don't diss the 7600 GT. I played through 3/4 of Crysis and alot of MOH Airborne with medium/low settings and 25-45 FPS average with one of those cards and an 3.2 GHz P4 w/HT. I mean it wasn't *great* at all but the games were very playable.
Actually scratch that comment........ I think using it as a modified ninja weapon is the best idea, go with that idea.
