PPU-powered Alienware arrives

The waiting is over. From today, gamers will finally be able to order desktop systems equipped with the much anticipated PhysX processor (PPU) from AGEIA - the first hardware accelerator chip for physics.

Alienware, Dell and Falcon Northwest are the announced launch partners and others will follow. We were fortunate enough to receive a private demo from Alienware, where we learned that AGEIA PhysX PCI cards will be available in selected Alienware desktop systems, inlcuding Area-51 7500, Aurora 7500 and ALX systems. Pricing will vary according to specification - configure a system at [color=#0000ff]Alienware.com[/color] and systems should ship next week.
