Anyone know what the future of Phyics Cards are? does anyone other than ageia have one or is making one? And Do u know if they will be PCI Express?

ATI and Nvidia both have soultions that don't require buying a "dedicated card"
good for only one thing. So due to agia's waiting thier already been beaten by
the top dogs IMO: thier $249 price point Vs say $100/129 for an extra X1600
pro/ XTto do your PPU work ... and nvidia clain like 10-20% , ati "claims" like 30%
and that thier soultion is faster then agaia's (abnd likely cheaper)

Thats what a year does to a little startup VS the Big boys with more money
and more resources....
