My thoughts,

A quick check finds that the Hybrid PhysX mod is working with the latest stable drivers (196.21), so i should have no trouble with the GT240 from what i can tell. Still, while most of the info i have found is on the 9800gt. Yet there is seems to be growing consensus that going forward this will not be enough, Games like Cyrostasis are pushing the physX limits, some have gone as far to recommend the gtx280 as a physX card, my wallet and I are not at this point. I would, however, like to see some serious comparisons of the 9800gt and gt 240 in hybrid mode. Even still i think I am leaning more tothe gt240 side of things right about now.
