    Dang, I was all excited to try this but I can't use the NVIDIA binaries to do it. I don't want to fuss around getting the nv ones working because it's iffy.

    I have a 256MB card and don't play games anymore... it was only a few bucks more than the 128.

      This seems to be waste with the price of ram and video cards recently.

        Yeah, definitely not a useful thing unless in a situation where a gfx card with good amount of RAM is there and not really being utilized.
