thanks snow crash, that was one hell of a post!

so in this case, resource share setting does nothing for me. without being forced to use linux, how can i get a full thread to a gt/x 200 series card on XP or win7? it's not that i'm not willing to switch to linux, but because i don't know anything about it. i installed it, but tried for an hour to get my wireless network adapter to work on linux, but could not, so i went back to XP.

so how does windows recognize the SWAN_SYNC command is only specific for fermi cards? what exactly is swan_sync?
