NWN2 Toolset Presentation By Erik Novales (http://nwn2forums.bioware.com//forums/viewpost.html?topic=475257&post=4051579&forum=100&highlight=)
Actually, it's probably not the exact one I gave, because I made a few edits and reworded some things that morning...but it's close enough. http://forums.bioware.com/_commonext/images/smiles/icon_shades.gif
The presentations are recorded, so I believe there will be either an audio or video recording available in the future. I'm not sure about the details, though.
Portable Mini-Toolset (pie in the sky, I know, but... ;) (http://nwn2forums.bioware.com//forums/viewpost.html?topic=475279&post=4051584&forum=100&highlight=)
I haven't tested this (i.e. no guarantees -- I'll repeat that, NO guarantees http://forums.bioware.com/_commonext/images/smiles/icon_good.gif ), but I believe the toolset will run as long as the graphics card supports DirectX 9.0c. As long as you don't open up the area viewer or preview windows, it may still run even on machines that can't normally run the game.

Will my Graphics Card run NWN2, or, texture ram showdown! 128 vs 256 vs 512 (take 2) (http://nwn2forums.bioware.com//forums/viewpost.html?topic=471864&post=4051305&forum=99&highlight=)
<hr />Okay so I have a question or two...
1. If I get two 128m cards running in SLI will they be about the equal of 1 256m card where memory is concerned? I don't care about what card, or the fact that there are two, I'm just wondering if the double vid memory will fix the defficiency?<hr />No. SLI does not double your effective memory. It duplicates the contents of the video memory (one copy for each card). So you will still be constrained by the 128 meg limit.
