Matt,
So I did a quick search just to see what pops up under nvidia. I found
the two that you had me emerge. Of the five in the group I marked
'interesting' which would be of value to load up? I've seen nvclock
discussed at times, so I'll likely emerge that. What about the
configuration utilities or the NVTV stuff. Does it work? Are there apps
that can take advantage of this?
Thanks,
Mark
