PhysX System Software
We are sorry about the size of the PhysX driver downloads, but you'll only need to install them once and you're done. Also, Ageia will be releasing smaller installer packages soon. so don't worry if the large sizes are scaring you away from downloading simufarm.
Simufarm and Windows Vista
Simufarm officially supports Windows Vista, and has been sucsessfully tested on Windows Ultimate using the Aero and Basic themes. However, for best game performace, we recommend you run Simufarm in Vista Basic theme as the Aero theme drastically reduces performace by up to 50%. To install SimuFarm you may need Administrator Access. Although it may be possible to install the Simufarm core files and updates without Admin access, Your computer also needs to have a 32 bit processor or VCCRT will fail to install. We are working to solve this as quick as possible to support 64 bit processors. You will requre Admin access to install the VCCRT package, and the Physx System Software.
